My uncle Dr Ronald Prince from Minden, LA was a friend of Dr Martin Luther King, JR.
He marched with him in Minden in 1965.
The things Jer Wright spoke in his rants were not the "Dream" that MLJ JR expressed in the last sermon he preached the night before his death.
Jer Wright was not looking to take his folks to the mountain top but to the pits of dispair.
I question your understanding...
There is more than one school of thought or philosophy under the banner of the "civil rights movement". Some are very moderate and inspiring such as MLK. Others are more extreme. Kind of like church denominations. But each school of thought in the civil rights movement had their contributions.

Chosen, when I look at that picture of President Bush I can't help but sing....
The bunny, the bunny, oh, I love the bunny
I don't love my mom or my dad, just the bunny
The bunny, the bunny, oh, I love the bunny
I gave everything that I had for the bunny.
I don't want no health food when it's time to feed
A big bag o' bunnies is all that I need!
I don't want no buddies to come out and play
I'll sit on my sofa, eat bunnies all day.
I won't go to church! And I won't go to school!
That stuff is for sissies, but bunnies are cool!

Do you have a link to the website where you got your info that you posted above, because what I have read so far on the web was that many of your "facts" were incorrect?
I graciously thank you in advance, sister.
I'd like for you to instead just prove me wrong.

Black neighborhoods are well-known for being bad. And we aren't talking about simple breaking into cars or stealing lawn ornaments.

I know black people who won't reside in black neighborhoods because of the crime rates.
In white neighborhoods, most of the murders are domestic related. Crimes like simple break-ins and stealing are more common. Rapes also happen but aren't likely to be random. Drugs are bad in both neighborhoods, but shootings over drugs are more likely to happen in the black neighborhoods.
Gangs have a lot to do with it. I'm not aware of white gangs, although there may be some that exist. I lived in neighborhoods where black and hispanic gangs were all that were seen.
The above being fact, it's no wonder that there are more blacks in the jails and prisons. This isn't the fault of the white man. This is each individual's fault.
Commit the crime, do the time. I don't care what color you are.

I think the two links I shared on the post would prove that your facts may have been a little off, HO. Did you read the data or were you looking for a fight?
Besides, when Eastman asked me for proof, I didn't tell him to prove me wrong. Where's the love?

Well...I also think if a man as dark as Obama called himself white...we'd laugh. LOL
The dude is black. And he has all the right in the world to identify himself as being black and to also refer to his other ethnic background and experiences.
If you look at Obama with his black family, he looks more white!

Brother, I hate to point this out, but you are typing with a lisp.
