Gentrification.. which I totally support.

Since LSU Tiger Z 71 opened the door, I think I"d like to throw my 2 cents in. It's sad that 30 years after Dr. King was killed nothing but the window dressing has changed regarding the racial divide. I blame part of it on the hate groups like the Klan. .

I read an article today from the Southern Poverty Law Center that a friend sent. I was surprised on a couple of notes. I think because I live in rural America in a relatively stafe area in the midwest that stuff can't touch me. Wrong! Hate groups are in three towns within 50 miles of my house. There are as many as 20 groups within 200 miles in any direction. But more than this, the most disturbing is the number of groups that fly under the flag of Christianity and church. As a senior who watched the first school integration in Little Rock on television, this list of groups has been a real wake up call.
