    a "leg up"???? going from "separate but equal" to getting a chance to send your kids to the same schools as white kids is somehow a "leg UP"????

    In all respect, pound sand. You are not an idiot, though you try hard to present yourself as one.

    you are the one who said that Brown v. Board of Education gave blacks a "leg up". Either defend the statement or retract it, but don't run away from it all the while blaming me for pointing your little gaffe out in the first place.

    oh...it gave them a leg up. Just ask kathianne. by going to the same schools as whites, they got a leg up.... not just even...they got a leg up, ergo an "advantage or an edge".

    How DARE those uppity black folks demand such an advantage!
