Declaring that only the strong survive was not what I contended. My argument had to do with the survival of "fittest". Forget brawn, think about brains. Smart people figure out a way to circumvent obstacles and adapt to their environment. Indeed practice doesn't make perfect. After all these years of trying, In the absence of a collective consciouness, black people as a group can't moblize. Like you, I've been around a long time and I've heard all of the arguments and all the revelations and all the theories and the truth hasn't set us free. Maybe we can't find the answers because we are not asking the right questions. I have read a lot of depressing things but none more depressing than your account of what you have gone through. You challenged the system, and you paid for it. But you can celebrate a personal victory because you are an individual who can be considered among the fittest. Life is not fair. It is what it is.
