I sincerely apologize to all and have realized for years that I am a thickhead confederate and closet bigot and perhaps even a little bit racist. Absolutely not trying to sell any opinion just sharing my pain and shock at polo-tics alabama style. Anyway the sun is out, work calls and the beach beckons for this weekend since the camper is now in use as refuge (REF-yooj!). The red hills of mizippi will be here tomorrow and so will I. I wonder if there's beach access anywhere in Biloxi (Sp?). I really do need to learn these mizippi names.

I say let's tie a can to it and get back to normal.

Be good or be good at it! See yall tomorrow for another round!
 
:idontno: :idontno: :idontno: :bang: :bang: :bang: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :confused: :confused: :confused: What do we say, think, or even feel, toward someone this COLD! Personally, this doesn't seem sincere, nor directed toward those that it should be, our fellow Americans and their suffering!! I believe that he's simply trying to salvage, "buddies on this board"! I forgive him, but will not post on this subject again! He's oblivious, so why continue to frustrate myself!

This is all completely baffling. Are we in the twilight zone?

Hey AB: no apologies necessary for being yourself, and being honest about your feelings. making the above confession lets me know that you are really a good person having a bad week... everyone has a dark side to their beautiful selves. your confession, while I think it is mostly BS, describes a lot of people I know - I was raised in Bham, Alabama. They are really great people who may seem to be huge bigots from time to time, they have great potential to be otherwise. Only the brilliant ones would ever see inside themselves enough to confess such. This is the case for people all over the world I would guess... :D

I agree with Tootsie, at least I know your perspective, even if I don't approve of it. I grew up in a racist town, with the KKK as well as black people boycotting stores. It was a little crazy. Many of the people whom I called my friends, were bigots and racists. They got that from their parents. My siblings and I cut those strings, and I saw my parents change with time. Today, I still see racism, even right here in SoWal. There are many cases. Sometimes, I find someone whom I really like, then I hear them talking about race issues, and find that we have such different views. I don't beat them up, but I know that my way is much different from there way. I miss my black friends, and hate that they feel so uncomfortable coming here to visit me and the place I love. Too many times, other people get in the way of enjoying this place. If you are a racist, you will never be my friend, until you change your ways. I don't use the term, "friend" lightly. A friend carries great weight. I will still respect your opinions on other issues, but I will always be challenging you to understand my perspective on racial issues.

I am glad you are not hiding behind a mask.
 
Did you read the about the woman 'evacuee' that spent $800 of the $2000 debit card on a designer handbag in atlanta? holy crap! They should have just made it a walmart credit....food, gas, clothes, school supplies, everything you need to survive...oh, and rent. I start to feel so horrible for everyone involved and some dumb*ss does this. it's going to get worse. My sons school now has 85 extra kids. the classes were too big to begin with! These kids need to learn (evacuees included) and with so many in one classroom, its going to be a nightmare. no one will be able to pay attention.
