Wynna,
Loved your response. Concise,, coherent, factual, respectful.
Prettygyrl, yeah, take it off to the side (although someone answered the question). You know folks can't take you sistah.
greek: It is not quite that easy to just pick up and move elsewhere. Besides, the people I know who did that found a rude awakening. The white man cannot be escaped. Period. Moving from the south (overt racism) to the north 9covert racism) is totally different. Racism is still alive and well. You know that.
Consideration:
I agree that a life should be "worth" the same regardless of race. That is not the case in AmeriKKKa. We know this. It's sad though, huh? The Black man's life is pretty much worthless in this country and has been from day one. Wanna see a sentence? See that of a black man who kills ANYONE, let alone a white person. Check out the number of political prisoners incarcerated for doing NOTHING!!! But are accused of crimes against who? White people. Can you imagine?
Something has to be done. Black folks however, have become real complacent in this day and age. We have become satisfied with the crumbs society has "allowed" us to have.
Enough of this though. I think we are all frustrated with this society and the way it treats people...white and black. Asian and American Indian...EVERYBODY.
I am at work...I always am at work on this page. Anybody got a job in Los Angeles for a little Black girl from the inner city in case I lose this one?
I have to apologize to Consideration. I could NOT remember the name every time I got onto my page to type the responses. I AM TRULY SORRY
