I'll be the first to say that they obviously have it much better. But I think you're fighting a losing battle if you think they'll just forget. There needs to be political reform from the war on drugs as well. I mentioned this in my last post.

I think it's fricked up to say you can't protest if you're not in the shoes of the people your protesting for too. Sometimes the ones not from the streets are the only ones with the platform to do anything. Just because you've been blessed doesn't mean you shoud have to play dumb.

No one that is crying about oppression has actually lived through any of the actual oppression. Kap and Reid are what 30? They were born 20 years or more after the last seperate water fountains. They don't remember 30 years from before they existed.

My policy before bitching about outside forces is do all you can for yourself. If I don't get a job I don't go off the rails blaming outside forces.

I'm fine with protest that have a real reason. Reid is way off base. The police shooting criminals isn't oppression.

Reid and kap as the voice of oppression is a joke. Those two have had more privallage than most. They wouldn't have survived where some of the 80s da U players lived.
