Nothing. Except that after that point the whole race issue in America changed for the better. So, I guess it did have a positive affect.
As far as "educating" the guy, what they're trying to do is get him to like certain people. You can't force someone to like someone else. Maybe he has his own reasons for not liking black people. We're all a little prejudiced based on our own experiences. It's just a question of whether or not we keep those prejudices to ourselves or give them voice. We just have to accept the fact that not everyone likes everyone else, for whatever reason. They should have just applied the law, left the church out of it, and moved on with life. If he wants to appreciate "black culture", he'll find his own way, and it will be a more rewarding experience.
Once again, the man was given the choice. He wasn't forced to do anything. Either you have a selective memory or you have a hard time concentrating on something while typing. :m:
Max I think the reason most whites don't riot like that is that most white people don't have this false sense of entitlement that, in my experiences, seems to run rampant through some of the other races.
Or maybe Whites don't riot because they aren't racially discriminated against by the Blacks who run everything? Oh wait, forgot that Blacks don't run a damn thing.
