I wish it was still the same today.
Well, let me rephrase that. I wish it was the same today with everyone. I don't really watch the show "Boondocks," but one episode I remember and took to hear was when Martin Luther King Jr came back - he had been frozen or something.
And after seeing how the culture was today, with how "they" treated each other in words and in society (excluding the "whites", as per the show), he was furious. He reprised his "I Have A Dream" speech (after seeing how his original dream was carried out):
This being said, I'm NOT stereotyping, pointing fingers, etc. I just see this as a culture (particularly in the United States as a whole)... /end disclaimer.
