I don't think you can equate the two.  People in ameriKKKa need to wake
up.  We have a "martial law" situation where police are running wild.
They think since they enforce the law that they are above the law.

What about Jews.  There are black jews, red jews, asian jews, etc.  I
don't understand the statement.  You just don't have a clue.  You call
her a "Silly Bigot Sistah".  I think with your opinion you are a silly
sell out.   Sort of like mc Mallet a.k.a. Hammer buying police cars and
copters for Oaktown rollers.  Since when would that help the
neighborhoods?   He should have helped the schools, but that's another
issue anyway.

You just hit a sore spot.  Lincoln didn't free a mother fuck'n slave.
The amancipation proclamation freed slaves in territories and state that
had already seceeded from the union, not one slave was freed in the
states that were aligned with the union.

Now I really know you need a history lesson.

>       2. All of the Civil Rights Legislature (Kennedy, Johnson, etc.)

Public outcry, media and demonstrations.  They only did what made them
look good.  They couldn't give a shit about a "nigga".

Like I'm supposed to believe some white man that would freak out if his
son or daughter brought one of us home will have my best interest at
heart.  You better wake up.

>       3. Integrating schools to provide EQUAL opportunity.

That's why schools in white areas are still better quality than those in
the inner city or predominately black areas.

Let's see places for black folks to live, hmm.  ameriKKKan born or foreign
born black folks?  But Brazil comes to mind and also a couple of wetern
African countries.  I have friends and relatives that have visted and
lived there.  There is also Spain, which I hear from a few folks that have
visited and lived and said it was nice.  There are numerous countries
where black folks get treated better than in ameriKKKa.

Now if you mean standard of living, it applies to everyone here.
Equality is just as important as standard of living.

What I would have done is made the racist red necks in power accountable
for their actions.  I would have executed those that hanged my ancestors
from trees.  I would have made schools truely equal by providing equal
funding.  I would have mandatory race and culteral relations classes.
I wouldn't let the police brutalize innocent citizens.  I wouldn't let
the CIA run guns and drugs.

I can go on and on.

You can't improve it for everybody until everybody is treated equally.
UNtil everyone is on par with everyone else it will appear that, those
that have, get, and those that don't have, get nothing.

You should get a clue.

Well the other post may have been general, but I was specific.
