Thread Name: BS: Is this Racism?
Subject: RE: BS: Is this Racism?
Rednecks????...well I'm not a 'Redneck...but as long as we're on the subject..you got something against 'reds'..like some people have against 'blacks'???

Be careful next time so that shit doesn't slip out!

..and BTW, the south has a lot more to launder than we did, I grew up in Southern California..nobody gave a shit, as long as 'they' (ANYBODY) didn't fuck with you.....but that's where I grew up....and if you press it, I've got some rather 'embarrassing' history..that would make your claims quite ridiculous.
yeah, maybe in certain parts of the country it was worse than others, but where I grew up, there wasn't this 'reparation/guilt' trip....in fact, my first REAL band, I played guitar, for a 5 piece 'soul' group...and we elected 'Jimmy'(the black piano/back-up singer, to be the leader.....way before Obama was born!
...so lighten up, OK?.....and as so far as James Baldwin, of whom we were good friends, he was a writer, and original founder of the Black Panthers....AND SPENT SOME TIME BEING A HOMOSEXUAL!!!!...look him up..he has bios online.....that is going to shock some of the accusers of me being either racist, OR homophobic, right out the window!! ...but I'll just let the whiny idiots prattle on!
(James Baldwin, BTW, is the guy who gave me the quote that I posted on here several times, and I posted him credit for that, long ago..."Right wing and left wing are on the same bird!"..J.B.)

Now go imagine new crap.....BUT, until next time...................

Regards!
