re: #68 jamesfirecat

And a Jesus Christ for you to DF! Is it that hard to take a stand against racism? PA seems to be making a decent case that busing might have been well meaning but have had problems in its execution (an idea that put forth by democrats that was well meaning but problematic to fully implement someone fetch me my fainting couch) but are you really so in love with your self immolation that you can’t take a stand against organized racism?

The problem is James that earlier in my life I was quite afraid of ‘the ghetto’ and badly wanted to keep it at bay, a concern for many young and old in Chicago back in the 1980’s/ early 90’s. I’ve grown up much since then and I now live on the same floor as more than one black condo owner. But I remember how I used to feel and I struggled to put my changing thoughts into words.

So I can say that I oppose segregation now, but that was not always the case.
