I learned quite a bit about black history and the civil rights movement in high school. In my college classes there was quite a bit more.
I think you're still living in the 60's teeny.

No, I'm just making sure people like you, don't regress me into them, again! The jews say "never again" and I echo that sentiment, twice! Say that to a Jew and see what you get. They never forgot the holocaust, which occurred during WWII, a mere 60 years, so I should forget slavery? I'm making sure that if the Constitution is a living, breathing document, that it applies to ME, too! I'm making sure that when this country expects black men and women to serve her, that she is serving them, too!
When my father came home from Italy after WWII, he STILL had to sit in the back of the bus. I s that where you want ME to go? When my husband came home from Viet Nam, he was cursed at and spat upon! He was drafted! Did he run to Canada or get 5 deferments, like your Vice President? Did he go AWOL, like your President? No! He bit the bullet and served! It is only recent that Viet Nam Vets, are getting ANY recognition, because you have 2 deadbeats in the WH, that refused to serve! You have a regime that reviles the records of Viet nam veterans like John Kerry and Al Gore, while they sat back all comfy and dry, while others, fought in yet, another unjust war! I forgot, Bush and Cheney, wear flags in their lapels!
If you're so gung Ho, strap a uniform on and go serve your damn country! I'm from Missouri, show me! Show me what you got!

Nobody is saying that, and you know it.
When my husband came home from Viet Nam, he was cursed at and spat upon!
That didnt just happen to him, it happened to white soldiers returning from Vietnam also.
Dont make that a racial issue when it isnt one.

Cheney didnt serve, but Bush did.
You may not consider the NG as serving, but he was a NG fighter pilot.
You not liking him doesnt change that fact.
Tell me, what is Obama's military record?
You have a regime that reviles the records of Viet nam veterans like John Kerry and Al Gore, while they sat back all comfy and dry, while others, fought in yet, another unjust war! I forgot, Bush and Cheney, wear flags in their lapels!
Please show me one time where Bush or Cheney said anything bad about Kerry's or Gore's service.
It was other groups, not them.

Quote:You have NOT lived my experience and I CAN'T move on until the 2 million incarcerated Blacks are free!
You want every black person in prison or jail in this country to be released, is that what you are saying??
I hope not, because that would be tragic for the black community.
While I will be the first to admit that some of them are most likely innocent, to release all of them would be wrong.
You would have some of the most violent offenders released simply because of their skin color?
You need to rethink that position.

I wore a uniform for 25 years,and would go back to Iraq or Afghanistan today if I could.
Does that count, or are you just spouting nonsense?

Which is?
Prior to 1964, 80% of the prisons were white, 20% Black. When Nixon declared his war on drugs in 1971, which is a war on Black and brown people, the prisons became 80% Black and 20% white. Whites, make up your most violent inmates, serial killers, spousal abuse and skinheads! The Oklahoma bombings were committed by whites. Jeffrey Dahmer was white.
So you are saying that there is not one single black person in prison today that is guilty of anything?
And how can you equate the OKC bombing withanything?
Whites, blacks, hispanics, and people of other races all died in that attack, no matter who committed it.
And yes, Jeffrey Dahmer was white,so what?
What does that have to do with anything?
Are you saying that white people are more violent, or are you saying that blacks arent criminals but that they are all victims?
Lets look at some facts...
[quote]Black victims are over represented in homicides involving drugs. Compared with the overall involvement of blacks as victims, blacks are less often the victims of sex-related homicides, workplace killings, and homicide by poison.
Although slightly less true now than before, most murders are intraracial
From 1976 to 2005 --
86% of white victims were killed by whites
94% of black victims were killed by blacks

Is you name MAPORSCHE? If it is, the post is directed at you. Since you are not, please re-read. I don't care to engage you, but 2 ignorants, don't make a positive, in my book. You people are taught to thwart anything I have to say, so au revoir, to ignorance! See you in Hell!
There are issues in Black households, that ALL Black children are taught and one is not to talk to any whites about anything. A security mechanism, because when whites question, there's usually an ulterior motive.
