I do recognize that there are both good and bad Blacks, however, I also recognize that wherever there's a critical mass of Blacks, the area resembles a ghetto.

Mixing races is wrong for several reasons. For one thing, it destroys the genetic uniqueness of a particular race. For another thing, the children are often confused and embrace one single racial identity. It's not only the case in places with solid races. In places like Mexico, the people often identify with being AmerIndian, yet sometimes they will identify with their White Spanish heritage.

Sadly though, things will never be equal, because the races biologically are not equal, and I don't think that the high achievers of any race should be given the short end of the stick in education to accomidate the slower learners (mainly Blacks), which is being done today.

King himself in his own writings admitted to communist sympathies. Personally I'm not a fan of King or other Black activists of the 50's/60's era. Actually, I think the whole "civil rights" movement was more of a "civil wrongs" movement. If you're curious as to why this is, feel free to ask.
