Subject: RE: BS: How sad - whites only prom in Georgia
Well, this has really turned into quite a shootout.

First, someone in authority please explain TROLL and TROLLING. I am kinda in the dark on this.

Second, I grew up and went to a totally segregated school in central North Carolina in the 40's and 50's. We never had a serious problem with the only other "race" in the county. We went to our school and they went to theirs. We had our dances and socials and they had theirs. We didn't bother them and they didn't bother us. The strongest drug around was pot on occasion, now the schools are eatup with all kinds of killers. I never really saw that we had problems by being segregated. There was a strict dividing line and no one crossed it. That was the way that it was. Until politicians from "UP NAWTH" decided that us redneck whites and "the coloreds" be brought together for our own mutual good. To make a long story short, the black school was torn down, and a few years later the former white school, which was at one time a great place, looked just like the school that was torn down. We didn't blame this on anyone except the one who forced us together.
Dances weren't allowed because of fear of violence which did not exist before we were forced to integrate. Some things are best left alone.

Third, I have read this "thread" carefully and am convinced that some of you have entirely too much free time to worry about other folks. Some of you are downright scary! Intellecuals such as Big Mick surely must have better things to do than to want to "debate" everyone about everything. Then there is EJ, a wealthy "plantation" owner who surely has better ways to spend his time than to talk about his wealth and power. Then there are some of you so unsure of your existence that you spend your life defending yourself form comments made by others. Who gives a big hairy rat's butt? Think about it.
