to be sure. I'm also certain you still feel prejudice from much of the white population.

Maybe you even feel "Well, it's ABOUT TIME the white population has a taste of the fear and horrors of the blacks in this country!" - and I can understand that.

But if there had NEVER been a social movement in mid 20th century, things would have never changed. Let's ALL work toward it.
