agreed

I wish more people thought like you BigGlenn, but because there a quite a few people whose evil tendencies go beyond their 'basic goodness', this problem along with others will continue to tire you.

Well Said! Especially with the natural tendency to classify everything as 'different'.

I believe that's where part of the problem is. Some people tend to allow that to be THE ruling factor in their lives - and that is a choice, which means that is in each persons control to change it.

A great opinion I must say!

It is your choice to be 'politically correct' on this subject, but once again, it gives validity to some peoples views that Whites like to hide and be in denial.

I am well traveled and well educated..I have been in the homes and sat at the dinner tables of people who have had large oil paintings of Klansmen with a sawed-off shotguns in one hand and a noose in the other. I have been in towns and cities where I was the first Black man a child or teenager saw. Unfortunately as a teenager, I took a traveling sales job and was harassed throughout the neighborhood by teens in cars shouting, "Don't buy anything from the Ni**er!"

These were part of many life experiences dealing with race and racism and I have always sought to bridge the gaps between us. I believe dialogue goes a lot further than silence in public, with a bunch of murmuring in the background..

I stand corrected...but the point is the same

You must know all my uncles and their 'new girlfriends'....lol

Good point....Isn't it amazing that one race gets accused of being 'lazy' by another race..like that race doesn't have lazy people? These traits.....liking chicken, watermelon, won't work, etc...are indicative of being human, not being a certain race....I wish people would get that.

For those who 'choose' to believe that this is too 'touchy'...do you believe having a discussion like this is meaningless? That nothing can be gained from it? Just curious

Sorry about the title - just wanted to grab your attention.

I just wanted to open up this dialogue because I like to get my information from the 'horse's mouth' so to speak.

I just want you guys to give any opinion you want on race and racism. Does it exist? Does it no longer exist? Was it ever or is it still justified?

Do you believe that Blacks makes a bunch of excuses to draw attention away from their own apathy and laziness?

Do you believe that Whites hide in suburbia and refuse to admit that racism exists today, even though every other person they know or are related to is racist?

I am just throwing topics out there to stimulate your mind.....these are very relevant issues to thousands of people in America to this very day.

I encourage all to express their opinion. It doesn't matter in this forum if you are racist, bigoted, Black, White, Male, Female, whatever...ALL can speak without recrimination from myself at least.

I do want to ask that you follow my ONLY rule: Please be respectful. If someone says something you don't like....do not get personal, or nasty... or get in your feelings. It is my belief that the only reason racism exists is because we let personal feelings get in the way of objective reasoning and logic.

With that.....let's chat!

I heard someone was taking applications.....who's hiring?





And are the benefits good?

While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered.
Mr. Benson looked out the window and screamed, "Good
Lord! One of the engines just blew up!"

Other passengers left their seats and came running over.
Suddenly, the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as
yet a second engine exploded. The passengers were in a
panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't maintain
order.

Standing tall and smiling confidently, the pilot strode
from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was
nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor seemed
to calm most of the passengers, and they sat down as the
pilot walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed
several packages from under the seats and began handing
them to the flight attendants. Each crew member attached
the package to their backs.

"Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those
parachutes?"

"Yep," affirmed the pilot.

"But I thought you said there was nothing to worry
about?"

"There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded.
"We're going to get help."

Once again, let's see who has the best blond joke....Here's my entry:

A blond returned home from work and was shocked to
find her house ransacked and burglarized. She called
the police immediately to report the crime.

The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels
and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond.

As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on
a leash, the blond ran out onto the porch. The sight of
the cop and his dog made her shudder. She put her face
in her hands as she sat down on the steps and began
moaning.

"What's the moaning all about, ma'am?" asked the
officer.

The blond replied, "I come home to find all my
possessions stolen, so I call the police for help, and
what do they do? They send me a blind policeman!"

A young man was delighted to finally be asked home to meet
the parents of the young woman he'd been seeing for some
time. He was quite nervous about the meeting though, and
by the time he arrived punctually at the doorstep he was in
a state of gastric distress.

The problem developed into one of acute flatulence, and
halfway through the dinner the young man realized he
couldn't hold it in one-second longer without exploding.
A tiny fart escaped.

"Spot!" called out the young woman's mother to the family
dog, lying at the young man's feet.

Relieved at the dog's having been blamed, the young man let
another, slightly larger one go.

"Spot!" she called out sharply.

'I've got it made,' thought the fellow to himself. 'One more
and I'll feel fine'. So he let loose a really big one.

"Spot!!!" shrieked the mother. "Get over here before he
sh!ts on you!"

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quietened down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.


Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less

NOW --------

Enough of that crap . .

The donkey later came back and bit the sh*t out of the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON

When you do something wrong and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
