The American Civil War ended in 1865, a war to end slavery, the discrimination of race in the United States. But things did not mend easily, and people have had to fight to integrate schools, pools, drinking fountains. To play on the same football team. We've succeeded, right?
In New York they are going over cases where African Americans were arrested for drugs because a white police officer was caught planting drugs in the car of a black man's car.
In Ohio, there is a court decision being made. A landlord was filed a complaint against for having a 'whites only' sign on the gate of her pool in her apartment duplex, not allowing blacks in her pool, with the the excuse that the hair products that blacks use in their hair make the water 'cloudy.'
I don't know if you notice but it is 2012. That is ridiculous and frankly, humiliating. Can't we all just get along? We are all people.
