From: tazgrl69@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Tue Aug 9 18:53:35 1994 Guess I should probably read to the end of this great debate, but I have 2 put in my $.02; Unless you have grown up Black in the United States, One has no idea what it is like to experience the type of racism that this country still has. Those of u who have judged Pele's reaction 2 the verbal abuse flung at him have NO right to. Unless u have lived a life of racial persecution, blatant or subtle, U cannot say "how u would have reacted" to his situation. Pele- I feel for u...growing up in the "Homicide Capital of the United States" in 1993(E.Palo Alto,CA) I have seen the people we pay for to "protect & serve" us Serve up nothing but abuse and humiliation. This country still has a long ways 2 go. Hugs 2 u and Prayers that it will in fact get better : ) Old Indian saying: Let No Man judge another until He has walked 2 Moons in the others Moccassins Oh By the Way..I'm a Yabbs Newbie....I'm TAZ..glad 2 meet y'all : ) PEACE OUT Helene
