If it was some way possible to get today's society to reflect back on some of the history that was journeyed by most of those who gave their lives and some of us who are still here and survived those horrors which had to be over com ed by a mind set of, I would rather give my life then to be or make any other human being a slave. I lived the fifties and I remember my father who is now deceased only had a third grade education and my mom who is still here today, they operated as a unit in rearing and instructing us in how and why things was as they were in those times, letting us no even though it's a journey now being travel we can change these things for the future for ourselves family and others by getting the best education possible and to never allow yourself to become what you hate, that being; a racist and some one that willfully causes the misery, demise of family member, friend or others for personal gain or so call statue. I as a boy couldn't go on Canal st. unless you were accompanied by an adult, if they were black they had to have a good reason for being there themselves, the word nigger was constantly use as describing blacks in those days which caused me sensation of discomfort as it still does today; when my mom would enter the front of the bus to pay the fare I can still hear this Caucasian man telling her to get back out and enter the side door and sit in the back with that nigger. Now in today's time I find myself very much disturb and even boarder on the point of anger when I see how far blacks has fallen from their should be moral standard of thinking/living. Any man or woman that has not the wisdom/understanding to stand in his/her place as a parent should not be commission with these positions with out getting the necessary teaching that make it possible to represent such a God given and highly responsible post. There is so much history that's living among us and is at finger tip distance for the acquiring of the knowledge to turn this mad way of today's living around. (you have not because you ask not)!
