I don't know if OUR ancestors et.al fought, died, marched for multi-culturalism. I think they did all of that for us (BLACKS) to have a LEVELED playing field, to have equal rights among the masses.
Multiculturalism, you know that melting pot ideology came from the other people, that melting pot did not include US.
That's my opinion.

You know Soror, you raise an interesting question!!! The playing field was not level during our progenitors age and still is not level today. It is a whole lot better in comparison to segregation. But we still suffer from severe issues in which the ground has not been broken... Really, do we have a "field" to "play" on? Are we even invited to the "game"??? Some of us are. Most of us are not even with Ph.D.'s...
The most interesting question is, was our ancestors about leveling the playing field while fighting for their progeny's rights? Or rather, was it more about stopping the pain felt living in an ugly world???
