And again I'm going to tell you that a substantial portion of your 'issue' is one that deals with colonization and its consequences. Race is often, if not always intertwined with said issue, but what you are speaking of needs to be dissected beyond the race factor. I personally do not have enough substantial knowledge of this particular situation, and I feel that your descriptions and diatribes do not come with enough background for me to make an informed statement on the facts of the case, but I will get back to you when I can.

I Personally take issue with you comparing MLK to Tupac.

There are a lot of people who believe a lot of things that may not be true. Even when informed and educated, people will often take a position on something that many others cannot fathom. It is a part of life. The only thing that can be done is to educate others. After that, it is up to the individuals. Hell the KKK still believes in killing Af-Am, that we don't belong here, etc. And as long as they exist they will, no matter what is done, how we progress, etc.
