Overheard in the Post Office today:
AIn't nothin' changed in America. We can almost get jobs we want. We can almost live whereever we went. We can pretty much get an education. But let me tell you, if they could, they'd put us right back into slavery, and we better wake up to that. Ain't nothin' changed in America.
Now this was from a black woman working as a clerk at the Post Office, to another black woman who was a customer.
Sounds as though she needs Black History Month more than most white people I know.

Unfortunately, from looking at my local PBS programming roster for this month, I'm guessing that Black History Month is where she actually LEARNED those attitudes.
