I do not like paying for someone else's mistakes...I will help out...but at some point it needs to stop.

I agree that more women and ethnicities that feel threatened need to take matters into their own hands and stop blaming others!

When I hear those girls complaining about their husbands treating them like shit (on and on and for years...) it's like... get a fuck'n grip and get the respect you diserve!
Whatever it takes!!!

This site is so fuck'n slow and acting weird, I was answering you at the same time and it posted twice...
I have no patience for this anymore!
(The slow thing, that is...)

Is it my internet provider or what?

No...I was having major issues myself at the same time.

I always enjoy your point of view...

Actually, I think a lot of what passes for racism is actually classism, and is about money...

Nice point, I did not really consider that...I am not sure off hand but, are the end results the same?

I don't quite understand that...
I know that 99.99999% of what goes on in life is about money but, racism :confused:

Because the typical racial stereotypes are not about blacks in general, but about POOR blacks. That's where crime, family breakdowns, lack of education, and unemployment come from. Not from the articulate, educated Sidney Poitier's or Barrack Obama's...

I see.

I also notice a difference in attitude between the generations...

My husband's father, an 82 yrs old black man who lived in the southern U-S in the 50's and early 60's has never complained or talked bad once (in front of us, anyway) about whites. He has no harsh feelings nor does he refuse to see how far he came from and the work that has been accomplished.

And HE was the one that had to sit in the back of the bus, not those angry Rappers and other idiots that prefer to bitch and moan instead of using those resources that are offered to them nowadays and... move on!

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear lynch is the old west, and I'm originally from the south.

Oh, come on. The first thing I think of is a black man being kidnapped and hung... and I'm from fucking Canada, man!

Since the start of this thread I've done some research on the subject of lynching, and although it's true most of the lynching in this country occured in the conferate states and involved blacks, the majority of people lynched in the other parts of the country were not black. They made up many different races. In fact only six of our current states have never reported a lynching. When they put all the states together it turns out that it was about a 60/40 percentage. As far as what pops into my head when I hear lynching maybe I've seen to many westerns.
