What?

You think the KKK was violent ONLY to blacks? Guess again. If you doubt what i said about the Southern Poverty Law Center, winning big in legal suits against the KKK, it's a matter of public record. They won *big*, including substantial real estate.

If you think for one minute that segregation was broken right after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling was made, you're way off.

Why did president Eisenhower send in the 101st Airborne into Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce it? Why was the Governor of Alabama making speeches about "segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"?

If you didn't live in the South during those times, you probably have no idea what it was like back in the days before desegregation. America was a *very* different place, back then.
