Re: Warning (for Gisele) Contains anti-liberal material


You actually KNOW someone who was brought here in chains???

You must be VERY OLD!!!

And if you grew up hearing stories of your own ancestors, not that very
long ago, being brought to this country in those circumstances, you
don't think that would have any effect on you?

I'm reading a book right now about the Freedom Riders who risked jail,
beatings and worse so that black people could ride buses in this country
from one state to another. This happened in my lifetime, that blacks
had sit in the back of the bus or get off the bus entirely if a white
person wanted that seat. There are people who are still alive today who
were maimed during those freedom rides.
