How Would You Feel?


I think this really sets the "tone" for how serious our history really was. Discrimination was HUGE back then and the segregation was threw the roof. As we all know it came down to things as stupid as segregated drinking fountains and bathrooms. What in the world would a difference in skin color have ANYTHING to do with that. It's SO STUPID!!!! I just don't understand why people thought other people with colored skin were like TOXIC or something as dumb as that. But it's over and that's the important thing I guess, can't do squat about it now.

I love the way you wrote Toxic. Yeah I really agree with you because the black people did nothing wrong and everyone should be created equal. It makes me sad.
