Ake, ol buddy... I hate to say it but, ahhhhh, me thinks that you are trying fight the last war... I mean, life goes on... This is a new day and with it new problems and opportunities...

Build the center...

Hey, when black people wanted to have equal opportunity to attend the better funded schools in the South there were plenty of white people sayin, "Whoa, not so fast"... It's the nature of people, Ake, and I hate to say it but your are soundin' alot like those "Whoa, not so fast" folks...

Build it!!!

BTW, there weren't any cheering comin' outta my house on 9/11/01 and I dare say that that was the same in just about every house in the USA... Yeah, I hated Bush's stealing of the election but compaired to what I felt on 9/11 that election theft wasn't squat...

Weren't no cheering parties on this side of the pond...

Build it!!! This is America... Not some 3rd world country...
