I've been reading over a lot of the other opinions, and one sticks out to me. The one from Scott stating how there aren't equal rights in Altoona. People are obsessed on seeing race and not the person. I have to agree with him on that in some aspects, but not because blacks aren't receiving the same rights as whites. Not because you don't see Sheetz or any other business filled with black workers. Let's face it. You aren't going to see that because whites outnumber the blacks here. Pure and simple. There should be more crime committed by white guys than black guys because of the percentage of white to black in Altoona. Your argument is that there aren't equal rights because you don't see as many working. This is not right. If only five percent of the population is black, how would you expect to see a black man or woman working in every store? I have so much more I could say on this topic; which perhaps I will at another time.
However, I will leave it at that because no matter you or I say; if you are white you are probably racist because whites are the only ones who can be racist.
