If you Google the name Oghaleoghene Atuno, your search will come up empty.
That is a curious development in light of the fact the 21-year-old Atuno is in police custody, having been charged with the attempted murder of two boys, ages 11 and 12, in Aurora, Colo. earlier this month.
The fact that Atuno is black and his victims are white, coupled with security video that shows Atuno circling the cul-de-sac before slamming into the boys and driving off, suggests the possibility of a hate crime enhancement.
Yet except for local media, the story has gone largely untouched. None of the three major networks has reported the crime, and neither have The New York Times or Washington Post.
Guess the race.
On the North River 
Will America keep dividing and soon resort to open violence, as happened in 1861? Or will Americans reunite and bind up our wounds, as we did following the upheavals of the 1930s Great Depression or after the protests of the 1960s?
The answer lies within each of us.
Every day we will either treat each other as fellow Americans, with far more uniting than dividing us, or we will continue on the present path that eventually ends in something like a hate-filled Iraq, Rwanda or the Balkans.

The problem with Mr. Oghaleoghene Atuno is that we don’t know if he is an American citizen or not. I’d guess not. And what makes that a problem is that some of our “Fellow Americans” are forcing us to accept people like Mr. Atuno into our country, on our streets and frequently with this result.
Frankly, The “Cold Civil War” is already upon us.
