Brian,
Unfortunatly, Our struggle began a long time ago and in my opinion is not looking to good. I agree wholeheartedly that taking this thing to the high courts is absurd and blatant racism at it's best. Brian, I believe that as a people we are far more great than we are given credit for, however if we don't get a strong hold on our young people we are doomed. Just look at what we are becoming, and it starts at home. What can we do, how do we get across to our parents that if we don't step up quickly, we are going to hell in a row boat.
If the courts rule on this thing in favor of the others, we may as well put the crosses in our yards ourselves, and hand ourselves. Our Jesse Jackson's, Al Sharpton's, and others need to do a little more than talk. We need them to hit the streets FOR REAL, yank our young folk by the collar and get some since into their heads. This is not me bashing my people, only wanting to find a solution to our problems. I do want I can for my community, with the limited help that I have, but it takes a village to raise a child. We have got to come together on this thing before it's too late. I do not want to be witness to what is to come if this kind of thing is ok'd.

From a Black man,

I have lived through the civil rights struggles of the sixties, during which many heroes gave their lives and freedom for the cause of a better life for future generations.

Forty years later, we still have to have courts rule on whether black kids can go to school with white kids, the fact that courts would entertain such lunacy is surely the height of racist stupidity.

OK, lets do it like this, White folk, since it seems you will never learn to judge me by the content of my character, I don't want to be where ignorant people use my skin color as a determining factor for education, jobs, capital, or business opportunities. (to list just a few)

Its Nation time again Black people, time to begin our own struggle to establish our own nation, where we can rise according to our own potential, where our contributions to society are taken without just compensation, where our tax dollars do not fund institutions that discriminate against us .

Since the president of this country has all but abolished the constitution, and the High Court is h*ll bent on destroying the remnants, it seems that now is the appropriate time to begin the process.
