I feel much sadness about the way our nation - and especially the south - treated African-Americans for a century following the Civil Way.

Perhaps you have heard about Karl Fleming's new book "Son of the Rough South." An excerpt in today's newspaper covered James Meredith's admission to Ole Miss in 1962. Hundreds of US Marshalls and US troops secured his place on campus, with 168 Marshalls injured (29 gunshot wounds, 6 with acid burns) and 200 soldiers were injured. A French reporter was shot fatally in the back, and an Oxford resident killed by stray gunfire. Prior to the battle's start, the Mississippi State Troopers (all white) made a show of driving off campus with their 68 cars.

Meredith, according to the book, heard from his father that "Death is preferred to indignity."

I wonder what he thinks about many of today's African-Americans?
talk about a useless bit of information. you bring nothing of use to this conversation. you continually attempt to disparage black people on this site just to make your racist sensibilities more at ease.
