How Far will the Shock-Waves Reach??
Our Lazy, Corrupt, and Unaccountable MEDIA will not, so "inform", you; with appropriate "background"; but, Missouri is a Rabidly Racist State! Events at Ferguson, and, now, the University of Missouri, might give the reader a "hint"?/ The "Enlightened" portion of that State, lies along a line that connects Kansas City, and St. Louis. To the North of the line lies the "conservatism" of Iowa; and to the South lies the Racism of Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Under pressure from Black Football Players and Black Faculty, the President of Missouri University announced his Resignation this morning. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/11/09/missouris-student-government-calls-for-university-presidents-removal/
This is a BIG DEAL for Black College Graduates in Missouri. Thirty miles away from its campus in Columbia, lies the State Capitol, and the HBCU, Lincoln University. Founded by Black Soldiers from our Civil War, Lincoln has historically been the University that produced Black College Graduates in Missouri. As the next in line to enter college in 1957, I, mistakenly, thought I might become an "Engineer", by attending Missouri University. Mizzou remained solidly segregated in 1957, so I entered Lincoln University, instead, and majored in Physics. I had to transfer to San Francisco State to continue my studies because of an incident involving a white Ph.D,Professor who chose to teach at Lincoln, despite efforts by Mizzou, to hire him away. Mizzou has waged a Budgetary-Fratricide battle against Lincoln, that continues! Five members of my family are graduates of Lincoln University. Poor whites entered Lincoln, as "commuters" in 1957; but refused to "integrate", in any significant way.
From the lesser-privileged Blacks in Ferguson to, now, the more-privileged Black Faculty and Student Body at Missouri University; there appears to be an "awakening"? Perhaps the full socioeconomic dimensions of "Integration", are beginning to DAWN on all of us?? The NFL and NBA are, undoubtedly, "paying attention"??
Stay Vigilant! After the past seven years of GOP warfare against the first Black President; maybe more of us can awaken to facts that threaten the economic future for all of us, if candidates like those in the racist, GOP Clown Car, attain the Office of President of the United States!
