However, there are ways to go about things. Casuing controversity has a tendancy to not help the cause (whatever the cause may be). It's all about Postive PR! Like the story about the little girl who did the study on bacteria in ice vs. toilet water. I think that little girl showed how intelligent she was, and it was awesome PR to show that black children can achieve as well (OR better - that girl really impressed me) as white children.

Actually causing what you are referring to as "controversy" is the ONLY way to help OUR cause. (BTW, it kills me that someone on the outside is trying to tell US how to solve OUR problem
) I am sure that folks like you thought that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and my personal favorite Malcolm X were "causing controversy". But you can see how far the civil rights movement got us. See black people getting arrested for protesting was not "positive pr". But it got us results. Speaking out (what the likes of you would likely call "militancy") is the ONLY start to bring abour CHANGE between the races. Change is what is needed, not some melting pot "bringing together of the races" crap that some of y'all are promoting. We don't need to be "brought together" with white people.
