I like to remind people that the Irish were made out to be cavemen/gorillas way back when that wave of immigration occurred. Italians got it for a while, too. But now we're all just "white".<BR/><BR/>Gromit: Thank you so much for taking time out between naps and barking and licking various parts of your body to contribute here. It's about time. Keep 'em coming. :)Hedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940638535923331779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19873733.post-83929356603622554242008-04-25T15:32:00.000-05:002008-04-25T15:32:00.000-05:00Hedy - This comment was supposed to go here with t...Hedy - This comment was supposed to go here with this post... you put it in the penis post area... FYI<BR/>Gromit<BR/><BR/>Ah heck Hedy. Don't let them get to ya. There was, is now, and always will be, ignorant people… there’s just no getting around it really. Why, I’ll bet that most of those people don’t even know they are racist. I’ll bet if you asked, most of them they would say they even have a black friend! <BR/><BR/>Truthfully, I get riled myself when I see ignorance parading itself around as righteousness. And this whole “pride” thing. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t “pride” one of the seven deadly sins? <BR/><BR/>The next time you get one of those emails just hit the old delete button. After all, why let the haters get to ya? Don’t get me wrong, I like your spunk and I like it that you’re not afraid to tell it like it is… but be careful to not let their hate infect you. <BR/><BR/>I guess it just gets to me when you get so worked up.<BR/><BR/>That said, keep fighting, give them hell, and most of all… never let a day go by!<BR/><BR/>Ohh… a CAT!!!

Read a book called Lies My Teacher Told Me for a plethora of examples.<BR/><BR/>For a long time, every college in America was all white. Especially in the south.<BR/><BR/>Whoever wrote this was a bit myopic and a lot defensive and a lot misinformed.<BR/><BR/>There may be a certain amount of reverse discrimination today, and perhaps affirmative action does some harm, but please don’t go around acting like “whitey” has it so bad in this country.<BR/><BR/>100 years ago, we were saying the same things about the Irish. Why aren’t you bitching about the St. Patrick’s Day parade? Same thing – Irish pride. Mummers parade was the same thing for Swedes. Used to be we could tell us Caucasians apart and we would discriminate amongst ourselves. Now, not so much anymore.

Really, I mean it, were we seperated at birth? <BR/><BR/>The majority of my Southern, white trash family is terribly racist/bigoted (i.e.: big reason I left Dodge). To this day I feel more than little bit uncomfortable when having to engage in conversations with them when the topic strays from LSU football/eating crawfish/the weather.<BR/><BR/>I like it up North SO much better!molly grashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603919158508592049noreply@blogger.com
