if you start counting from 1900 till 1965 thats a pretty good head start.
ill save the anti black crack cocaine laws for another thread
A wise person on this board once told me
that black people need to quit being minorities and second class citzens
and just be americans

slightly off topic: ever read anything by Langston Hughes?
