Perhaps it's noteworthy that by the time 'Brown vs. the Board of Education' (1954) finally overturned 'Plessy vs. Ferguson' (1898), AND it was finally mplemented everywhere in the 1960's, the 'Black Power' movement already opposed integration for its own sake... Will America wait too long to reward Asian-Americans for academic excellence, continuing to punish them instead via 'affirmative-action'-style 'diversity' quotas?  My prediction: Violence is coming. As Mick Jagger once warbled, 'It's just a shout away!'

The prediction business, notoriously crooked but thought I'd take a quick look at it Neither to forecast financial ups or downs turning NYSE smiles to frowns Nor to set odds on upcoming sports events too much depends on the element of chance I'm here to predict something inevitable as sure as mother's milk is delectably edible Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean-Americans will learn from the black man, who screamed, "Yes, I can intimidate the white man into doing my bidding" and now whitey's afraid of him ~ You know I'm not kidding ... The Asians have earned their spot at the top of the university heap but they won't ever get there 'til they stop acting like sheep Waiting for the 'so-called Wheels of Justice' to grind is for those who 'to wait forever politely' wouldn't mind How long did it take for 'Separate but Equal' to be overturned? from 1896-1954: 58 years of 'broken-windows' schools where ghetto blacks didn't learn ... I predict that when Asian-led terror strikes the heart of the system just watch the phony elites and their friends pretend to be victims Though the one thing about terror (they forget) is it gets results ~ Check out how Radical Islam, China and Russia exult

And a big thumbs up to you, Michael, for having the guts to comment on this one. I imagine not too many folks take kindly to my line about 'whitey'-elite being afraid of the militant black man. But he is afraid -- unlike most of the rest of the country and the world...
