[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LBJ is misrepresented.  See the WaPo.  (Sunday ed. I think).[/quote]

This may be true, but I saw the movie last night and it was still very powerful.  It didn't make me think any less of LBJ, although it was a bit surprising (almost glad the movie wasn't 100% accurate).  I wish I would have taken all of DDs friends with us to see it.  What the movie did for me, was raise up a sense of responsibility and accountability to help my community get to a better place.  I just feel a sense of urgency in trying to get AA's on an even educational ground.  I can't tackle all the dysfunction that is occuring in the AA community, but I can help these children get even with their white peers.  I felt sad and angry that for everything that those early civil rights activist did, many of us(AA) are still so "lost". I have to do something!![/quote]

I do not believe that you are black, but whether you are not, you sound as ignorant as one can be.  You cannot believe that all or most black kids are illiterate and/or undereducated. If so, I guess you are one of only 3 that have a college degree. Do you really believe that the millions of black americans live, work, think alike in one big black community??

Oh My!!  Where did I say "ALL"?  I was only stating that we are still behind as a group, even with equal rights and access to education.  The movie just prompted me to consider what I can do to try and make a difference in my community, more specifically, my neighborhood.  No need to get angry.[/quote]
