I was just afraid I'd fall asleep to anything by Creed. But dope always did put me to sleep.

That and stupid argument. Would someone please tell me the meaning of Brown v. Board of Education today???

I guarantee Creed will NOT put you to sleep. Go listen to their song 'Bullets' or 'Freedom Fighter'.

Freedom Fighter

The mouths of envious Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more
But our mission’s set in stone
‘Cause the writing’s on the wall
I’ll scream it from the mountain tops
pride comes before a fall

So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth
I tell it like it is
If the truth will set you free
I feel sorry for your soul
Can’t you hear the ringing ‘cause
for you the bell tolls

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

Can’t you hear us coming?
People marching all around
Can’t you see we’re coming?
Close your eyes it’s over now
Can’t you hear us coming?
The fight has only just begun
Can’t you see we’re coming?

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

Simpleton I am and with a few Bud's in my belly, here's my simplerton view of the Brown case. Of course I could be totally wrong, but here's my take on it.

1. Brown wanted EQUAL opportunity to compete, not begging for preferential handout solely due to his race. He wanted to get in the golf course where he could shoot 67 on 18 holes, didn't want guilt ridden handicap pity points. ??

2. Today it means treating minority groups (excluding those who excel in edumacashion without the handouts) like some sub-human by saying that they need the extra 200+ points to get on the even ground with the rest of the race. Brown should be insulted.

3. The preferential treatment becomes the very obstacle Brown and the "minority" wanted/needed to overcome.

I am making sense only in my head I know, because I'm not as articulate as you, but it's not my fault. I wasn't given the 200+ extra points.
