This is why I think riots happend...

Riots happen because of unequal rights. There are some things that they did that weren't allways right. When the civil right movers were mad they would flip cars over and then set it on fire. The police would then come back and bring in K-9 dogs and they would also fight back with bats and sticks. The military then would interven and then they were really in trouble. Eventually if things were still out of hand then they would call the Nation Guard and Highway Patrol, the police would respond to alleged gunfire by opening themselves on the community center and start surrounding buildings. After riddling it with hundreds of bullets the police found no gunmen or any weapons but they only found several children huddling in the corner scared.

Why can't we have a White History Month?

Why should we celebrate Black History Month?

What is so great about Black History? It's not like they are special or something.

1-15-08      In  words, describe the African American experience in America. Explain your answer. 

I think that the African American experiences in America are better than they were in the past years. They now have more opportunities to be involved in schools, jobs,and other things. I think that they have a lot to be proud of. African Americans don't have alot to make them worry because they don't have the KKK like they did in the past 100 years. The KKK might still be around but people don't have to worry as much because the KKK is not as public as it was. They now cannot  get away with it. Anyone who is part of a racial group are not as willing to risk getting caught with the police or with the law.
