I wonder how white people who have helped the cause feel when they are called honkies.

Posted By: Marta Fernandez on October 22, 2008 As I was getting ready to take the trip to Ohio,I had some anxiety. First I was told that the KKK is still lurking there. Then I thought about the three civil rights workers slain, Schwerner, Goodman and Chaney in 1963 on the Mississippi freedom ride. 'cause I am that old thank you. I was sharing a ride with three other volunteers that I never met. The story of those slain civil rights workers has always haunted me. I have always admired their courage. They went to Mississipppi to register voters also. But when we met at the Gateway Hilton,in Newark, I was so touched by the exuberance of youth. Their commitment, their conviction. That I forgot all about my own fear. For those who have no knowledge of the Mississippi Freedom Rides I pasted a link below. I always try to keep in the back of my mind the image of those,who have made it possible for people of color to be treated as equals. This campaign has taught me that a lot of folks, don't feel they are part of the mainstream. Feelings get hurt on both sides. But at the end of the day, many died so we all can be free. How would we feel as mothers if our son's and daughters were killed defending America at home. Then be called names? Just thinking as always. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/obituarie...

Yes, I wonder how they feel, when they do so much work for the cause. We are talking about Black people hurling the insults in this blog.

P.S. Verbal abuse for a child can last a lifetime if not corrected.
