[quote=Anonymous]The National Museum of African American History and Culture opens on Saturday and I encourage everyone in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area to go - from the open minded and intelligent to the obstinate and ignorant.
Go.

I would especially encourage all the people who come on here and proudly present their personal narratives of how their parents immigrated way back when and worked their way to prosperity in spite of prejudice...all the people who come on here assertively arguing about how their ancestors overcame adversities in order to achieve success and so blacks are just lazy for not doing the same...you know those people who hold their heritage and history so dear but come on here insisting that black people abandon their past and get over their pains...yeah.
Go.

Check out what you don't know about what blacks have endured and accomplished.
Or better yet, check out what what you [b]think [/b]you know about what blacks have endured and accomplished and find out the real facts about blacks in this country and learn a little something about their experiences and perspectives besides what is perpetuated by the media and portrayed in the entertainment industry.
Go.

Check out the facets and frameworks of the African-American experience and check out all the struggles they endured for equality and check out all the sacrifices they made to reach their successes - then go pick up a paper and check out all the struggles that still exist for black people in this country today as they continue their pursuit of equality.

[i]"The common goal of 30+ million African-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights that America has been denying us. We can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans.” ~ Malcolm X [/i][/quote]
