RE: What Does Everyone Think Of Kwanzaa?
AeroWesty,
Regardless of what you think of the Black Panthers,
They were born out of distrust and racial overtones. Even if the situation was bad in Oakland then, it was still a racial organization.
You may think they were a bunch of marxist peaceniks, but they were an organization based on race.

RE: What Does Everyone Think Of Kwanzaa?
Black panthers killed themselves, and were a marxist organization that split into a few factions. One of which was extremely militant one that was very peaceful and a few others. However anyway you look at it. Kwanzaa is based on a very noninclusive set of principals, and for that reason it will hav...

I didn't say the KKK was founded for civil rights. I just look at history and see two organizations that were very racial and not good at anything but causing trouble.

RE: What Does Everyone Think Of Kwanzaa?
In my book looking at history, I place the black panthers right next to the Klu Klux Klan. It may have been founded for civil rights, but it wound up being a multifaced doomed organzation, that had way too many racist overtones.

GO with resizing to 600X800
Assuming you start with 1600X1200 at 600K the end result would be a file of about 150K.
Now if that is still too big, you could go to 300X400 and get a 37.5K file.
