Above all, please do not tell

me because you've had dozens of black friends, you know anything about

being black or hurt. America is only as good as it is right now because

of the work of Dr. King. When things got good for African-Americans, it

got better for white Americans. It made white America more humane.

Perhaps one day, someone will

have the patience and time to better educate you on the accomplishments

of Dr. King and other African-Americans who did so much good, so that

you can learn to appreciate, and not hate. We are too educated to fall

for the tricks of hate-mongers like you. You are a part of the problem;

why don't you try being a part of the solution?
