Website title:

..."when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five-year-old son who is asking: "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"...

...and why be so mean to 500,000 Iraqi children? What did they do to anybody? How did it become acceptable to starve them to death and deny them medicine or even painkillers?

King doesn´t ask of his own Christian beliefs..."Why symbollic Cannibalism?" Why this...of all the ways open to a "Loving"...a "Universal" an "All Powerfull" God of showing "Perfect Love"? If Segregation and Racism blight the human soul...what does eating the body and drinking the blood of a most innocent, unoffending and getnle young man do to people? And why the coy explanation that it´s "only symbollic"?

What has it done...what has it done...what have we done?
