It would make you wonda.
I'm also too young to remember that (how old are you again, OA? ). Anyway, again, we all know the problems that exist with our gov't in reference to their treatment of African Americans. However, I don't feel that now is the time for us to attack our own gov't. If or when further attacks come, they will be against all of us. Like Special 1920, I have gotten very frustrated with our fellow Americans that have turned this into a race related issue.

We have to be able to see past color to get to the crux of the issue.

Am I looking through "rose colored glasses", thinking that racism does not exist ~ absolutely not. There's a time and a place for everything, and with war eminent, this is not the time. Were these feelings present before the attacks ~ yes. But what were we doing about them?
