I am almost ready to visit the grave of MLK and see if the ground is registering any earthquake waves. I keep seeing headlines about institutions of dubious learning having separate graduations for minority students. For years I have been hearing about how black students were allowed to have their own dorms and student union buildings. I have waited for the voices of racial equality and reconciliation to raise their unanimous voices of protest.

Has everyone but the white middle class lost their minds? Do the Black Codes suddenly sound like a good idea again? Are we now supporting a Revised Black Code? Are we looking for a new name for Jim Crow? Maybe the next goal is to establish all white neighborhoods so that our black citizens won’t feel threatened. It is a strange day when the KKK, Nation of Islam, ACLU and Aryan Nation all agree on a program.
Wake up people.

Considering that I'm very prejudiced against blacks (but not racist or bigoted), segregation suits me fine, if that's what they want. Of course, in this day and age, if we go "separate but equal," we KNOW that it will be whitey who gets the dirty restrooms and the warm water fountains. - lol
