"animosity" of racial slurrs have been around long before the word
"nigger" was used to desecrate one race by another. its nothing new. go
across the sea, to england and ask them about some of their slurrs they
had to endure by other nations through out the ages, more so, you could
go to any other country. they've been around longer than the US, and all
have had international ,racist slurrs.

Thanks Michael, I tend to run on at times!!!
Well put.

Im latina, and I have been called names also, when it happened I felt
that I was being judged by my race, not the person Im
so.
James yes, you are right, there is no difference in the name calling, is
the same just different race, different names
speak, is what they call latinos.

don't know why, because sometimes they don't even know the difference
from one country to anothe, in texas someone asked me "you got some
nigga in you right,? where are you from
and I said San Juan" and then again he asked "where in Mexico is that?
I turned around and left, because I notice he was stupid and didn't even
know that San Juan is the Capital of Pueto Rico and the only latino he
had met where all from Mexico because he had never left the state of
Texas.

thanks Morena........it just boils down to stupidity. James, I still
would NEVER allow myself to be insulted because of my race and Never
would I convince myself it was a joke.

Morena, did you get the music?

Spay my fine friend...............do you need a role model?

wel, solo, im not condoning idiocy. if it was me, i'd have done the same
thing, and thanks for the backup morena.

yea baby, checking on it.

Hey, this is an absolutely beautiful day in east Texas.
Suposed to be 75 degrees on TG. All my kids will be herealong with
g-kids. House will be trashed by the time they leave but I'll smile
while they're here.

(wink wink)

awesome, h. soak some rays for me while i freeze here in ohio

Dammit How..........I'm in Atlanta and it's a cold ass 42 degrees!!!!
This is one of those times I envy the next man.

dont envy me, solo, its toppin out at a hot-ass 23 in columbus! lol

I'm sitting here listening to my neighbor out mowing his yard.
I'd love to see the snow though.
Yeah, my yard needs it too, maybe tomorrow lol.

We have white, cherokee, and black, in our family, now...thanks to my
niece who is with a black bf...they have two BEAUTIFUL boys! I,
personailly, am VERY VERY happy to see that happen because I grew up
with a step-father who did not like any race but the white race, which
made me feel VERY bad because my natual father was Cherokee. As a child,
growing up, I had very very dark skin and I did not fit in with my hafe
brothers and sister. Now that my niece has these two wonderful young
children I have seen the change in my step-dad and my brothers and my
whole family! It has brought ,everyone, together as one family unit and
the babies bring life to all of us and a LOT of joy!

well, h, we have a saying in ohio: if you dont like the weather, wait
five minutes. no snow yet, though. dont worry. we've got our fare shre
coming. good thing i just bought a plow

Do notworry solow. I joined about a week ago, my welcoming party was so
bad, it was erased off the face of the earth. Some of them aren't real
nice. But I didn't go away. Now. don't worry. In fact some of the
members think they're sending messages to real people when they really
are just typing to another computer 2000 miles away. Now, let's get
back to feet.

glad to hear you've found happiness, truth. and glad to hear your family
is doing well.

wow truth!!!! I'm Cherokee and black as well......hell, we could be
part of the same tribe.....who knows? That's just how small this planet
is and it's reflective of the short amount of time we have to be on it.
So, I say fuck the nonsense and let's live like we are supposed to.

Glad I am in TX, for the winter!

can't argu with that, solo

I've missed a few days and didn't wnat to back track, so (sorry) sushi
but there was some controversy over you and someone (thought to be one?)
I'll presume all is healed?
