I know that there's a time and a place when you really just want to be around YOUR OWN, and everyone should have the right to live how they want to live. That's cool, and I certainly respect that opinion. But something about their attitudes/motivations just ring false to me, and seem antithetical to my interpretation of what the Civil Rights movement was all about.

SM, can I hijack? I never saw any gray in Don C.'s goatee! But he's a talent, for real. I still think he's the best Sammy Davis Jr. interpreter out there (HBO's The Rat Pack)
