Shortly after I wrote this post a flurry of stories about gang violence; Brown on Black; Black on White crimes surfaced here. I think my point is that I do recognize this goes way past the borders of the Southern states. It'd be good for every State to own up to the history of that period though. I wonder if History class in CA delves into the Watts riots of the 60's. Or the Rodney King beating and subsequent uprising of the 90's At the very least they could use the movie "Grand Canyon" in class. Oh wait that was rated R.

And these were the wonderful conservatives who prayed in school and did everything right, right? Now them damned liberals had to bring all that hippie dippie civil rights junk in and take out our prayer! And teach that the world is older than 6000 years! Damned pinko commies.
