Subject: RE: BS: How sad - whites only prom in Georgia
Again, the input is appreciated. Not an option for me to visit there for the near future. I am sure my ancestors would have understood, as one of them lost the Virginia plantation etc. through co-signing of a county employee's "note" which said employee did not satisfy thus leaving my great-great grandad to pay up. As well as my ancestors on the other side one of which was one of the early governors of the Carolinas having left his sugar plantation in Barbados for the mainland.

However, with best beloved son-in-law from Antigua and two of the most beautiful twin grandsons of mixed race, I can tell you I would have a hard time understanding any of it. Intellectually - yes; emotionally and ethically - no.
