I have never been afraid of anyone. I guess I am an older generation born in the deep south in 1949 on a Sea Island of SC where my ancestors owned property immediately after freedom and was isolated from day to day interactions with whites. Never once did my parents, grandparents, great grandparents allowed us to have fear of others, plus they never said anything negative about any race. There was a knowledge that there was no one greater than yourself but God. But it is good to learn that there was those who had a different life that I have only read about.

We have to be harder we have to be tougher and we have to be stronger than everybody else just to keep others around us from preying on us

if I take this analogy and say "don't scratch where it doesn't itch" where do you think Americans are itching in connection with race and addressing African American issues.

I don't have to tell you that the Boule ( Wilson) is at it again to protect his status. Reperations is problmatic for these gatekeepers. Blacks weren't clustered but forced into gettos by policy. He touts data but it's empty. Status is a scapegoat for overall condition. Proximity crime doesn't solve the larger picture. He got out and hid quietly behide insignificant data. while ignoring the crime which created thoes neighborhoods.
