"...America's historical amnesia about black humiliation and black suffering is seen as a basic prerequisite for a better American future of racial harmony. Yet history-the past and the present as history-will not let us off so easily. The lofty claims of exceptionalism that hold this country to be somehow outside the iron laws of history ring now more hollow than ever. No civilization fails to reap what it sows. No nation escapes the poison of its ignoble paradox."- Cornel West

Thank you, you are one of the Hall's most intriquing voices.  Great quote... Cornel West is one of the greatest intellectuals of our time.  He even made a hip-hop album because he so loved the youth, and desperately wanted to reach them.  He even lost his job at Harvard because of it.  (Among other things)

As I said earlier, we should give all African-Americans who were desentence of slave a generation of free education, and also we should clean up all public schools. We get it all wrong throwning money at situations, we need to thrown knowledge and education, so that we can have people expand their minds, instead of fight on the internet.
