Ahhhhh, if my memory serves me correctly this coming April 4th (?) will be the 46th anniversary of the Greensboro sit in at a Woolworth's lunch counter by 4 Greensboro College, A & T students...

When we discuss racism it is important to reflect on the stuggles and the victories of those who have laid it on the line...

Speaking of laying on the line, again back to Greensboro, I believe it was 1979 when the Klan shot and killed several white folks who were participating in an anti-Klan ralley... I don't think anyone was ever charged...

Racism, winessed by the Grensboro Massacure, isn't a black problem, not a white problem but a human problem... As are all the "ism's" that have been created to keep un-empowered folks at each others throats while Boss Hog makes off with the gold...

It's up to each of us to call it down every time we see it...

I agree with Ebbie on this one... Seems that I'm always late to the skirmishes because I just don't have as much time as I once had for Mudcat... Yeah, when I've had my opportunities I have stepped up but I sho nuff would like to register one "punch on the mouth" to whomever started this last one...

Yeah, sometimes the easiest thing to do is to delete and in the case of mindless foul language it's probably the best thing to do but I'd request that should another poster come up with some racist comment that, hey Joe, you'd allow evryone an opportunity to let this individual know that he ot she has some seriously screwed up values... Like Freda's pal did that night in the pub...

You might be letting folks off too easy???

Hey, I've said some real controversal things here in the Catbox and didn't mind for one minute defending my positions... No one stepped in and said "Bobert's taking a real beating here so let's just pull the plug..."

No, make these creeps take the weight... Too easy to just let them out by pulling the plug...

Grrrrrr...
