Different approaches to segregation. When we react, does a fiend, you are talking about significant as tlc. Different approaches to reach the same goal. Sometimes it will work, depending on who you are and what the situation is. We need to take time to look at how all those things come together at how all of those things come together, not condemn one way or another way. You have to take in the full context to understand what was happening.

This is one of the questions i want to kn
