I can NOT see how you can live in a free society and not allow freedom for EVERYONE. And yes - one of the things I am ashamed of is that it took till the 1960's for segregation to end in the southern half of the US. But we had the means to end it - because EVERYONE had a voice. Martin Luther King was able to stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and give his "I Have a Dream" speech. We have a Free Press that allowed scenes of the police brutality in Birmingham to be shown. Today - becuase of this - we have Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice in two of the most powerful positions in government. And Condi Rice (who I had received an e-mail from while she was Provost of Stanford) grew up in the segragated south of Birmingham Alabama. I will go to a rally to stand up against the KKK - but I will also stick up for the rights of those ignorant people to have their little white hooded demonstrations.
