Rut: I wouldn't go around disparaging white people. After all, it was predominately white lawmakers who provided the laws that ensure equal rights for all.
It still is.

To The Forum:
In the original version of this message, I asked The Forum members a question concerning a post Jeff Rutledge made. He has since removed it, and I don't know why that didn't also delete my reply, but....
I have deleted his post, which I had quoted in this reply. Should it become necessary, though, I can repost it exactly as he wrote it.

The problem in understanding history is that too many people only want to understand the part that concurs their argument - ala the post above.
Our politicians in Washington suffer the same amnesia on a daily basis and its sad.
For those of us who are students of history as it actually occured, Carl you were totally accurate in your statement about the history.
Maybe JR hasn't read the rest of the history behind the civil rights movements or either he simply doesn't want to acknowledge it accurately.
Having been born and lived in the south for my entire life, we learned it at an early age and the thing about history is that is doesn't change ...
As far as baseball Garth said it best, I'd rather be good any day.
Thanks
