When we collectively all suffered from segregation, we did have group-think mentality. That issue i.e. stereotyped and pidgeon-holed us for many years. Then when the nations urban warfare started and predominantly African American communities were doused with the "nuclear option" of crack, very few folks deviated from "group think tactics"--for the common good. Some ideas worked, however many lives were lost in the process.

Now in this post 9/11 terroristic world that we ALL live in, someone is "drawing a line in the sand" and "telling us which side we need to stand on..." Ironically, some lunatics in the "group think mentality" still like the "slave mentality" Massa so-n-so isa aiite...

Interestingly, that CNN did an expose' on how the Spainairds [sp?] dealt with their terrorism issues from last year--saying that the majority of the people voted the entire government out of office, chose more socialistic government that decided to "treat" the ills of poverty and disenfranchisement in all communities and they haven't had a terrorist threat yet... The reason Spain chose this option over war was because they said 400+ years of religious war was enough and that "we" are all in this together--trying to peacefully coexist...

I hear Londoner's saying the same thing... Treat the religious fanaticism--EVERYBODY'S religion--not just one group's religion... Including Christian fanaticisim...

Interesting how the Europeans are handling this after 1000s of years of religious infighting at the beginning of the last millenia...
