Colbert King:
The tragedy of Trump’s latest Twitter tantrum
Those who have attempted to make Trump's Twitter ire at an ungrateful father who thought springing his offspring from a Chinese jail sentence was not worthy of a thank you a statement about race miss an important point. 

The father's ingratitude was based on his statement that shoplifting was "no big deal."  It is likely that attitude would lead a young person to think that they should be able to get away with stealing someone else's merchandise.

Those who make this dispute about race do blacks in general a disservice.  There are many honest and honorable black people in this country who try to raise their kids to be good citizens.  To suggest that other blacks should not be held to the same standards is in itself racists.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
