And as a man you can't do nothing but respect that....I ont like you neither cracka

Bullshyt.

When black people don’t like a crackas we keep it to ourselves, tell ‘em and KIM, or run that fade.

When crackas don’t like black people, they get a gun, a mob, the police, make prejudice laws, or involve the military.

Ain’t nothing respectable about that old coward.

Yikes :picard:.


He can still get out of it though. "Oh, I was just seeing what was going on":skip:
I just started reading the article, and yep:

The photograph, taken by William P. Straeter of the Associated Press, shows a young Jones wearing a striped shirt, craning for a better view, “looking like a little burrhead,” as he said in a recent interview with The Washington Post, acknowledging his presence on the steps that day.

The head coach, Jim Albright, had warned there might be trouble and said he “didn’t want to see any of you knot-heads near the front of that school tomorrow.”

That directive did not deter Jones. He showed up near the conflict’s epicenter, stationed on the top landing near the school’s double-leaf entry doors, a face in a rear row of the human bulwark intent on keeping people out because of the color of their skin.

Jones said he was there only to watch, not participate. “I don’t know that I or anybody anticipated or had a background of knowing … what was involved. It was more a curious thing,” he said.
