They are so prejudice in the south they genuinely separate the chickens too. Only an act of true divinity can save whatever the hell is wrong with the southern hemisphere of our country.

Mind you, Europeans came into African countries andSTOLE these people. Racism is a disease in people who believe these ideologies must be put to death.

On top of that, it did not help that in their ear was George Wallace encouraging all of this madness.

Especially the resident in Birmingham genuinely feeling like not only was there a racial division and intimidation tactics completely acceptable. They fought anyone who came in and tried to hold up a mirror to what they were doing.

I’m playing the US government for allowing Alabama to believe that they are bigger than the program. Furthermore, this is exactly what I’m talking about. When I say the confederacy should have been punished after the Civil War because if you would’ve effectively punish the south for treason, then Alabama residence never would’ve felt comfortable enough to do anything like this.

It’s very easy to hear stories about people who lost their family due to hate crimes and say you’re sorry and move on and it’s very easy to say the words if you’re making a bigger deal out of this then you should win every day you’re seeing people die.

The black community has been so desensitized to seeing our people, beaten, bloodied and murdered that a child stated these words to another grieving child. And this is not something that only existed in 1960 Alabama. We’re still seeing today. He felt so comfortable to tell her she’s making a bigger deal out of this thing she should because nobody ever explained to them that when bombs go off people die.

I believe, sometimes that the only form of justice can be served through vigilante and through the public. I’m not saying that the congregation of the 16th St., Baptist Church should’ve went on a manhunt, but I am saying I would completely understand if they did.

We should never have to live in a world where young black women believe that the lives of their friends were worthless and did not mean anything due to our justice system failing. Furthermore, we also should not live in a world with naivety to believe that the police and the FBI and government officials are always going to come to our rescue.

"I can describe everything that happened," I told him,
"but I cannot tell you the FBI caught the guilty men and brought them to justice. I cannot tell you that officials in Birmingham honored the four girls by naming buildings after them. It seems the girls were just forgotten. Maybe nobody thought my friends lives were worth bringing the murderers to justice." Words that resonate within me.
