I posted that after I got it in e-mail ... "some" of the points made got me to thinking, and I posted it ... There's a black history month, but no white history month . . . ect . . .

I could care less about "White-Power" and the KKK and Nazis and all those other nuts ... That's all a bunch of B.S. to me . . .

I wasn't trying to stir the pot and in retro-spect I probably shouldn't have posted it ... I had a couple of post-work, friday-night beers in me and I wasn't thinking straight ...

Sorry if anyone got the wrong impression . . .

... we were 100% right.

You didn't have to explain yourself, jet.

Not to those of us who know you.

I only read part of it and none of it troubled me.

I actually had a funny response all ready, when I got busy doing other things--thread was gone when I returned.

Jet - I understand the sentiment but I think some others got out of hand and said some nasty stuff - as usually happens. It's those sorts of people that continue to perpetuate racism and make it worse, rather than help with solutions.

I think we can talk about anything as long as we remain civil to each other. In fact, I thought "talking things out" was part of the liberal agenda - apparently it wasn't. I guess it's easier to deny the problem then to deal with it. Racism is ugly and I dispise those who are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Why can't we all just get along. . ..

Just sayin'.......

What Shawn said.

I like that scene from "Blues Brothers"!

Yo Jet:

There was nothing wrong with your post! The **** hit the fan when rickamaven aka "shorty" used the "N" and "J" words to make himself feel taller, if anyone is a racist antisemitic it's little ricky.

The one in the music store or the one with the nuns?

You get my Seal of Approval, Jet-ski.

Did nuttin' wrong, IMO.

#8- Are you the pot or the kettle?

I bought a great photograph today of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodger infield with Jackie Robinson.....this pic was marked down from 12 bucks to 2.50 so I jumped on it.....

Love old baseball pictures...

There was a White History Month. That month was Honkietober (the original source of that epithet). Pope Gregory, whose color (not white) I won't mention here, established the Gregorian calendar that most nations still follow to this day. the year previously had 14 months, but PG (as he liked to have his friends call him) cut it down to 12, mainly just to piss off other people. He also abolished the month of Muslimuary and renamed Jewly as July.

That thread was deleted, eh?

The music store! The dinner with Aretha was also great.

You betta think.....think....

Wtf? Where did the thread go?

That might be exactly your point, Jet. Anybody feeling good about being white should pour themselves a cup of stfu?

Is that the message?

'.."J" words to make himself feel taller..'

---------------------------------------------

There is now a "J" word?

Awwwww fudge. What the helllllll is the "J" word?

If you have to tell me in code, do so.

JonR,

Although I am much more in line with you than Ricksamaven, I have met and enjoyed the company of Rick. I'd have to see the post(ings) before I would condemn him for killing the thread.

I'm confused on the "J word" as well.

"Joogamoo"?

I started a thread about the deleted discussion and now it's gone too. We are indeed, "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race discussions. But I don't hold it against Cigarbid.

When Eric Holder called us a ’Nation of cowards’ on race I was at first offended. However, in some ways he is correct. Fear of being labeled a raciest or a bigot prevents frank discussions of race in the US. Done in the workplace, it would probably get the participants fired. Honesty and truth are again the victim of political correctness.
