**A prediction of truth???**
"I do not imagine that the black and white races will ever live in any country upon an equal footing. But I believe the difficulty to be still greater in the United States than elsewhere. An isolated individual may surmount the prejudices of religion, of his country, or of his race, and if this individual is a king he may effect surprising changes in society; but a whole people cannot rise, as it were, above itself."-Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835, __Democracy in America__ Picture: Over 40 years ago on "Bloody Sunday", a cop is seen beating a young man for protesting for the right to vote.

By Andy Razaf Couples passin' two by two, While here am I, left high and dry, Black, and 'cause I'm black I'm blue. Browns and yellers, all have fellers, Gentlemen prefer them light, Wish I could fade, can't make the grade, Nothing but dark days in sight: Pains in my head, Feel like old Ned. What did I do, to be so Black And Blue? No joys for me, No company, Even the mouse ran from my house, All my life through, I've been so Black And Blue. I'm white inside, It don't help my case 'Cause I can't hide, what is on my face, oh! I'm so forlorn, Life's just a thorn, My heart is torn, Why was I born? What did I do, to be so Black And Blue? 'Cause you're black, Folks think you lack They laugh at you, And scorn you too, What did I do, to be so Black And Blue? When you are near, they laugh and sneer, Set you aside and you're denied, What did I do, to be so Black And Blue? How sad I am, each day I feel worse, My mark of Ham seems to be a curse! How will it end? Ain't got a friend, My only sin Is my skin. What did I do, to be so Black And Blue? http://www.perfessorbill.com/lyrics/lyblckbl.htm
