I have a Sue, and guess what, she's black and five years old.

I grew up with one black family in my town, and the names of those kids were Gregory, Serina and Karen, and each was outstanding in either academics, the arts or sports.

But, today in the schools, I do not meet any students, of any color, named "Sue," nor do I meet black siblings with easily pronouncable names. When I went to school (and I am not that old at all), I knew a girl named "Louise." Yet, I have never met a student named "Louise" in today's schools.

As I said in my earlier post on this thread: Times have changed. That is my point.
