MAN! I am sorry but I think you guys are overreacting! I do NOT think of myself as on higher moral ground and I am NOT advocating hiding from the past or not teaching kids about it. I SAID I WOULD WALK OUT IF I HEARD SOMEONE SINGING THOSE OFFENSIVE LYRICS; THAT I DID NOT THINK THEY SERVED ANY PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO REMIND PEOPLE OF COLOUR OF A HORRIBLE HISTORY.

THATS IT! No censorship; I marched in support of 2LIVECrew' right to free speech, for crissakes!

I, too, will not post to this again. If you really want an idea of who I am and what I believe in, go abc through the threads and read some of what I've posted. Judge me by all of my words, not a chosen few!

katlaughing, feeling very personal at the moment!
