"There were actually schools that wouldn't let students watch the first speech especially for them by our first Black President."

4. Yes,
but how many schools? There will always be nutjobs, but let's not exagerate their numbers. Slowly but surely, this country is getting smarter. The question is, will it be fast enough to save us?

11. it IS slow, but it happens
if you are inclined, this is kind of long but it can help with those moments of feeling the morans will never change:

5. There were schools in the South that cheered when JFK was shot.
Probably some overlap there.

8. I do not have to imagine a time years ago
When the schools I later went to did not allow black students. We're watching the dead-enders of that generation's influence.

10. Well don't count the inbreed rednecks out yet
They are working at the corner gas station cleaning their guns and biding their time. I don't expect the racist fuckers to go away anytime soon.
