Bears my friend....I gotta weigh in here. I was born and raised in the south, although it was Florida, which many to be considered "Long Island South", my dads family was from Virginia and North Carolina. Gotta tell you something - racism isn't exclusive to the south. A guy who was incredibly funny (Lewis Grizard - southwind may know of him) was from the south and wrote an article about being in Chicago and having a cab driver who was black. He told the cabbie he was from Atlanta...and the cabbie replied "so am I". Lewis braced himself for the speech, but the guy said "I miss it. At least there you KNEW where you weren't supposed to be". And he's kind of right. As bad as it is - in the south, a minority knew where they weren't welcomed. In the north, they would just get the #### kicked out of them because they were someplace they shouldn't be. It ain't good, but that's the way things are.

I've been called a racist by some of our southern friends here because I used the N word where most "non racist conservatives" won't. But last year, my daughters prom date was a black guy. NIce kid. They had a good time. I wonder...they are quick to call me racist - would they have felt good about THEIR daughter going to the prom with someone of a different race?

It would be cool to see the blood pressure drop when you first learned that.......LOL

Well your point(s) about 'not everyone south of the M/D line are tinged with HATRED' are well taken.
And I DO need to preclude my negative comments of the south with openers such as ...' The Majority were/are ...etc/etc/etc '.

Learned what Dell?

I'm also originally from Fla and if people want to label me a Redneck, so be it ! I know a lot of great people here, who would lend a helping hand no matter what color they were and yes, have heard of Lewis Grizzard, who always had different way of looking at things .

Not labeling anybody anything here southwind. Only pointing out that, just as Grizzard pointed out, racism exists up north.

JESUS,....I'd 'hate to be HANGING'..since You went to the prom (if you even went/I didn't), but in your case it's got to be approaching a DECADE or Three or Four !!!
My point ..dell ol' boy, is nowadays, the 'young uns' go to proms with people on a one time date- basis. Now I'm not saying that Was/Wasn't the case in KC's point he made.

PS,
Ever share Intimacy with an African American girl, back there in ol' Western PA. dell ? I'm Betting NO !!!
I have ! She was one member of our clique of a very diverse group, and THAT was back in the 60's.
(This was NOT a one night stand)
How about YOU 'southwindBAG ?? Again, I'm Betting NO !!!!!!

Hmmm. Looks like this BIGOT is (only) a bigot against HYPOCRITS. (E S P E C I A L L Y..Conservative ones) !!!!!

It wasn't the first black kid she went out with. Wasn't any duhs anywhere. Only rule I had was that whoever it was had better RESPECT my kid...that mattered a helluva lot more than color. I'd be willing to wager this - if it were your kid, your jaw would drop farther than mine.

You lost the bet then......

 

[KCFlyer]

Did I lose because

1. You don't have a daughter
2. If you do, She never dated "outside her race"

Only say that because my jaw didn't drop a bit - or are you saying you clenched your teeth instead?

It wouldn't bother me........

It did give you a rush the first time......

So I lost a bet because it's never happened to you? And how do you know how I felt?

So you admit you go around flipping the dreaded N word and that shows whats in your heart.....the rest goes without saying......its an auto function for a mere nanosecond at best......

Using your method of madness, in order to not be a racist, you must have carnal knowledge of a race...............so in order for you to be pro-gay marrige?......................just sayin' :blink:

YOu know why I flipped that N word out there? Because you righties who bemoan "political correctness" go right up to that line...then you do the "politically correct" thing and stop short of saying the word you REALLY want to say.. Sometimes there is a shock value of putting the word you want to use out there... For example, rather than naming the "Obama phone" thread "no mo" (I know...that was a tribute to Amos and Andy and had no racial overtones) Obamaphones, you righties can chuckle to yourselves when you really wanted to say "Look at this typical N." http://www.airlineforums.com/topic/55447-no-mo-obamaphones/
