Subject: RE: BS: Atticus Finch - Racist??? From: GUEST,HiLo Date: 19 Jul 15 - 09:04 PM No, I messed it up. Big thumbs, bad eyesight and all on a small mobile. I truly was curious about your definition as it is one of those words that we all seem to have a different interpretation of. Sorry, I meant no disrespect. |

I really should follow the example of many others and stop posting to these threads at all. I do not have energy to follow through to have a decent conversation with the rare folks such as yourself who are interested in conversation, and am too easily offended by the jabs of folks like Greg F. and Ake because this is not just a forum to me, it is a community. A community that once was, but is now just a forum, and it is my problem that I still resist the change. Really is my problem. |

Subject: RE: BS: Atticus Finch - Racist??? From: Jack Blandiver Date: 29 Jul 15 - 11:39 AM Phew! WTF was all that about??? Crikey! I'd love to hear other impressions but I thought all was going rather swimmingly until the uncle resorted to physical violence to literally beat some sense into poor Scout regarding their noxious opposition of the NAACP. And what then? She crumbles. Depressing stuff. Am I missing something???? I hope so! * Nothing lighthearted about any aspect of racism. Indeed not, but when its addressed in a form of entertainment, no matter how well intention (or at least seemingly so) then we must remain guarded as to the motives, especially given the cultural weight & folklore of To Kill a Mockingbird. |
