Huntsville Birthday Celebration Is Racially Blind!

Happy birthday to Huntsville, Alabama. What's not so happy is the way this city's past is being covered up ignored and smilingly accepted. We must not forget that this city which is a top place for African-Americans to raise a family was once a rest haven for hatred against blacks. Huntsville smacks of racial injustice which needs national attention. With an alarming population of African-Americans locked up this city is depends on the revenue of blacks being arrested, fined and imprisoned. This city will not grow until its' racist past is exposed. This exposure will help curb the current racial injustices towards blacks. Only in a city with the history of Huntsville will one see a Confederate soldier on the court house lawn being glorified. These soldiers are a part of history. They represent exactly what George W. Bush expressed what America was about. These soldiers only represent a time when this country was split up and resulted in a civil war. Those who display these symbols realize that these symbols cause division. The Buffalo Soldiers monument will be placed in an area that gets little or no attention from city officials. The fact of the matter is that it should be placed on the court house lawn because they did work to hold this country together at a critical time. This city of Huntsville must face and confront its' racial past with an HONEST EYE and then the healing can start. It's obvious that city leaders and Africans-American leaders are behaving like cowards. The racial element in Huntsville is so deeply rooted that officials will not dare talk about it or take steps to make sure that ALL Huntsville citizens are treated fairly.
