Thoughts on Mississippi Burning

 

via Tumblr

"It's not good for you to be here. ... It's ugly. This whole thing is so ugly. Have you any idea what it's like to live with all this? People look at us and only see bigots and racists. Hatred isn't something you're born with. It gets taught. At school, they said segregation is what's said in the Bible. 'Genesis 9, verse 27.' Seven years of age. You get told it enough times, you believe it. You believe that hatred. You live it. You breathe it. ... You marry it."
