Why do you find it hard to believe that Henry may have worked with or been around some black people at some time who might have threatened him or had a generally bad attitude toward whites, Bobert? It's not an indictment of an entire race to have had such an experience. Many people have had such an experience, just as many have had bad experiences with white rednecks too. Prejudice is not limited by (or to) any one racial profile.

I think you just like disagreeing with Henry by now, as a matter of course. It's become a habit. He's become one of your "perceived enemies" on the forum...one of those despised outlanders who is ALWAYS wrong just cos of who he is! ;-) Why not agree or disagree with him on the basis of what he says instead of who he is? I guarantee he has said some stuff you would agree with from time to time...if it wasn't him who was saying it. I could prove it too, just by looking back through his many posts. But why spend the time?

I'll agree with anyone here on this forum if and when they say something I can agree with...and they all do at times. Even Teribus!!! ;-) That's because I assess what they say on its own merits, not on the old "consider the source" principle that so many here operate on.

And you know I think you're a good guy, Bobert. A friend indeed, even though you often impugn the honor of a noble Chimp I know! I think you're a good enough guy that you might get what I'm talking about here. Maybe.
