StraightBOS, a good point!
And that did not sound goofy at ALL AKA_Monet. In fact, it rang very true. Now how many people can digest such a concept is another story....
StraightBOS...you are speaking from a very realisitic point of view. In my frustration I am looking from the renegade's eyes. I see that for some reason, this "majority" has become the powerhouse of the "greatest nation in the world." I put those two in quotation marks because whites are BY FAR (like in the single digit range) the minority in the world as a whole. And whoever thinks America is the greatest needs to think again. Even though the word "greatest" implies a comparison, all one needs to do is look at history to see how screwed up it really is. Compare America to itself. Are we really better off? The only thing we have now that we didn't have back when, is technology so advanced that social control is made easier by the day. So should I rejoice that I live in a society where military intelligence can pinpoint my exact location 24 hours a day any time they please? This is the society that integrationists wanted to be included in?
That was not to discount MLK, Jr., just to say that his fantasy of integration (or indeed, desegregation), was not all it was cracked up to be.
By TAKE, I didn't mean necessarily with violence. But as wise men once prophsized, in order for a true revolution to occur, someone must die. Morbid, yeah, but true. And not saying that anyone should be sent out to be killed either. But in order to truly stand behind a cause, you must be willing to die for it.
For all the peaceful notions that MLK. Jr advocated, look at his fate....
