that turn out for the better, but that is not always the reality. These people
gave up their birth rights many years ago and should not go back on that. They

witch's brew of hate and savagery against Christendom and capitalism. ('America

One other proof of racism is segregation in school. Almost every
white school had new books and lots of luxuries the black students could
