Ooh – Martin Luther King, that's a good one too. What a visionary. I can't even comprehend what it would have been like to be a black person in his time. The image of those cops putting the fire hose on those kids just haunts you forever. What a shameful time in American history. That and the Japanese concentration camps. What the heck was going on in people's minds back then? I know there's atrocities now, but d@mn!
And don't even get me started on slavery. How could any person, at any place, and any time, think it was okay to make a human being a slave?
Okay, I may be getting too controversial here, not to mention getting on a soapbox. I might ought to shut up now.
And by the way I'm white if that makes a difference to anyone. It doesn't to me – its just pigment!
