I loved it when i lived in selma. When i went to elementary school, it was about 50% black and 50% white. I went on their website recently and its like 80%B 20%W now.
My mom owned the shop directly to the right of the bridge Bloody Sunday occurred on. I went to the battle of selma reenactment every year. If you can avoid the racist pitfalls, I believe the South is the best place to raise children because of the history that the races share here. Its not a reason for anger at all.

is there a reaction video of a racist... that would be very interesting to watch.. we know how black people felt... """ oh lordy we are free at last... free at last... allelujah"

U kno what ill give it up 2 u for now!! I neva lost a debate on this muthafucka but im glad 2 see otha articulate and intelligent niggas out there!! but that dont mean i aint gonna get back at u later!!
-
in all other states, whites are the majority...so if ALL whites simply voted one way,
that would be the difference.

Dude what are you talkin about?
The USA is 80.0% White, 12.8% African American, 4.4% aSIAN, 1.0% Native American, 0.2% Pacific Islander/Hawaiian
1.6% Multiracial and 15.1% Hispanic (of any race)
Four states are majority-minority as of 2009:
Hawaii (which is the only state that has never had a white majority), New Mexico, California, and Texas
Cali and Texas are that way because the COMBINED blk/hispanic population
-
White ppl are the minority if u take in 2 count all the different races that live here now! And almost every white person i kno over the age of 30 voted 4 Mcain and he lost!! and that just goes 2 show u that no race alone can elect a president!! Or if what u say is true then ppl would look 2 please white voters but do they no they go 4 every race cuz thats how it works!!
