Selected quotes ...
Compare this with the multicultural riots in Los Angeles in 1992: 13% white, 25% black (betcha' never heard that before), and 60% Latino/a. And yet, everyone considers that to have been a race riot-in fact a black riot, which it was not. Go!
It reminded me of a few years ago, when I came across a brochure from the Hermitage tour, which handles Jackson's role in Indian removal by saying something to the effect that when "pioneers first settled this region," there were thousands of Indians: Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw. But after Jackson's Presidency, "most of them had left." Go!
White people, whether overtly racist or not, benefit from living in a world mostly run by white people that has been built on the land and the backs of non-white people. Go!
It’s our heritage," he replied. "We are brothers. We must be linked together by a common bond." The common bond, I realized with a chill, is a history of abuse from people of my color. Go!

Where my homeys purchase status symbols to prove they ain't poor, I pinch pennies. Where my homeys strive to get that degree, I study whatever fascinates me. Where my homeys talk abstractly about the white man, I live with the beast in its natural habitat. Go!
