Why, isn't that what Ice T is doing with the police? Bash away to 
achieve notoriety. I think Clinton has said things that needed to 
be said, unlike Mr. Hymietown Jackson. Face it, the nation is tired
of all of this pitiful whining. America is the BEST place in the world
for Black people to live.

Aren't white people loyal supporters too? Silly Bigot Sistah wants to
have a week and sacrifice them. How about Jews? Gosh it sounds like 
there IS such a thing as Black Racism! Without excessive economic power!

What would you have done instead of ........

	1. Freeing slaves (Lincoln)
	2. All of the Civil Rights Legislature (Kennedy, Johnson, etc.)
	3. Integrating schools to provide EQUAL opportunity.


Sure, all of these weren't perfect measures, but all you do is whine
and criticize efforts that have made AMERICA THE BEST PLACE IN THE
WORLD FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO LIVE. I defy you to name a better place
in this world for Black people to live. Also I defy you to say how
YOU would have shown "concern about us.." and no whiny bullshit, I
want specifics. Since you seem to be able to criticize, then lets
hear what you would have done about this.

Most cats don't take a mouse to a better place to live and set them
free. Guess your whining made you overlook the facts. Now the chore
is to improve American for EVERYBODY, not just violent special interest
groups.



>'It didn't mean a thiinnnnnnnnnnnngg!".


And neither does your posting.. too general, no facts, no knowledge,
just a bunch of prejudices. What do you REALLY know about 
reconstruction? Sounds like you just heard some HYPE from a Bigot.
Where did you actually POINT SOMETHING OUT?

You post sounds like it came from your Red Eye. (think)
