I cannot believe you said you have a problem with blacks who continue to bring this up. IF WE feel like we are treated differently and young black children are not treated equally in the public school system, we will continue to talk about it whether you like it or not. IF WE backed down from people like YOU, WE would not be as far as we are now. YOU really need to think about things before you say them.
~Steelstrap, thanks for speaking out on this Blatant prejudice.

Eirene, you're welcome. And I love your post.
As I've said, I usually am a model of decorum and dignity. My parents gave me those critical values.
But that individual's blatant ignorance and repeat pattern of degradation, not just on this thread, but on other threads, called for a response.
The shame of it all is that there were some intelligent posts on this issue, which really needs to be debated in a rational manner, not in an emotional one. In particular, I felt informed reading takes from librasoul22, KSigRC and Optimist Prime.
All I'm saying is that this should have degenerated into this.
