Now is that really something we want ot do? To ruin our world, the only thing some of us will have to offer to our children? We may as well destroy ourselves with our actions because we sure are increasing the list of troubles our children and grandchildren will have to go through. The civil rights movememnt shouldn't go to waste we should stand up for what's right on every side all the time so that this is put to an end and no one that comes into our world after us has to complain about what we've done to it to ruin it.

Yes, you are right - it would not have been right and some of my good friends have held me to task for that. My disappointment, I suppose, is that it seems whenever behavior like this happens many of the 'majority' turn their heads. If the majority turned on these people that make up such a tiny percentage, I think it would have far more impact than bussing minority support in from other cities to show them their behavior was wrong.

Ever." "I wish it had been 6 young white men that had beat this racist senseless as well as the other racists responsible for the nooses." I agree with you but I also think that beating anyone senseless is wrong, racist or not. “Nooses are not a joke. Ever.”

I agree with you but I also think that beating anyone senseless is wrong, racist or not.
