they let the kids go to white school but the police failed to protect them from
the local parents who threw shit at them and called them 'damned niggers'. They
then lynched one of the male black students and raped the female ones. It's not
a good idea to go to a white school if you are black in america was the result
of that little experiment.

Race and religion; the world's two great progenitors of the "us vs.
them" mentality.
In the words of Saint John of the (Strawbwery)

Those 4 girls were blown up by a bomb in their church. It was intended to
intimidate those pushing for civil rights at the time.

Both pics refer to bombings....no one got raped, lynched, shot, stabbed or beat
up.....just got blown up by a bomb.......the first pic the result of racism, the
second due to religion....both forces for incredible cruelty, death and
destruction and both equally putrid.

EACH DOLLAR A BULLET
Jake Burns
Oh it must seem so romantic
When the fighting's over there
And they're passing round the shamrock
And you're all filled up with tears
"For the love of dear old Ireland"
That you've never even seen
You throw in twenty dollars
And sing "Wearing of the Green"
(Chorus
Each dollar a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And Americans kill Irishmen
As surely as if they fired the gun
Now you've never stood on Belfast's streets
And heard the bombs explode
Or hid beneath the blankets
When there's riots down the road
No, you've never had your best friend die
Or lost a favourite son
But you'll stand there and tell us
Just what we're doing wrong
Each false word a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And Englishmen kill Irishmen
As surely as if they fired the gun
From the minute that you're born you're told
to hate the other side
"They're not like us, they're not the same
We know because we're right"
But can't you see we're all the same
There is no right and wrong
Why can't we stop and realise
We've hated too much, too long
Each old lie a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And Irishmen kill Irishmen
As surely as if they fired the gun
How can you convince yourself
That what you do is right?
When people are dying there
Night after night
Don't you ever wonder
Why it stilll goes on?
The hopes and fears and all the tears
Are buried in your ground
Buried in your ground
Each rumour a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And careless talk kills Irishmen
As surely as if words fired the gun
Well it's lasted for so long now
And so many have died
It's such a part of my own life
Yet it leaves me mystified
How a people so intelligent
Friendly, kind and brave
Can throw themselves so willingly
Into an open grave
Each new day a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And ignorance kills Irishmen
As surely as if we fired the gun

"but raped the girls! all goes out the window when it comes to sex.. never
understand that!!" -- Rape is about power, not sex. People rape because
it's an expression of weakness that they are trying to overcome by hurting
someone else, and forced sex is the most intimate form of hurt.
