****, then I would have gotten served :cry:

Yeah, but you could've turned it around on him.
If he called you white, you could've responded, "Uh-uh. I'm not white, I'm light pink."
Then he would've gotten served.

It's a word. Letters and vowels. "Sticks and stones shall break my bones but words will never hurt me."

BUT.......

If my African American brothers and sisters find the word to be offensive, then it is offensive. Unless it is one's intent to offend, then people should not use it.

When and if my black friends tell me that the word is no longer offensive to them, then that will be different. Until then, I will not, out of respect for their feelings, use it. (At least, in their presence. :mrgreen:)

But I expect the same respect. Don't call me a cracker. (Even though, I really could care less, truthfully. But it's a matter of principle.)
 
Yeah... that never happens up north. :roll:

But the North has such a shameful history of the way they treated blacks. We shouldn't forget that. All those blacks you Northerners lynched during the draft riots. Just terrible. All the slavery.

So when people talk about how bad the South is I should remind them of how horrible they are, too.

Dude, I'm from the South.
I was born here, my family's from here, we've been here for centuries.
We owned slaves.
I know perfectly well how "blacks and whites get along in the South".
I guess if your family owned slaves you would have issues. Maybe I would be ashamed of being from the South also if my family had owned slaves.

Texas is not "the South". You are from Texas. I am from "the South". Everything he said was completely true for "the South".
 
Blacks and whites get along better in the South than they do in the North. We are actually friends who get mad at each other and fight and go to weddings together and baby sit for each other. A lot of yankees have never even met a black person.

Have you ever been to "the North"? What part of the geographical United States does that term even encompass?

Oh, okay. We weren't part of the confederacy. We didn't secede from the united States in 1861 and join the confederacy. Half of my male ancestors didn't die in the civil war. There weren't 250,000 slaves in Texas in 1865, after the Union had already occupied Louisiana and Arkansas and freed the slaves there.
Slavery was not officially abolished in Texas on June 19, 1865.
That's why black Texans don't celebrate Juneteenth.
Yeah, that's it! You're a genius. :roll:
No wonder you voted for Palin.
Hey, I'll bet you think I can see Mexico's National Palace in the Plaza de la Constitución from my front yard. I'll bet you think I wave hello to President Calderón every morning.

You don't know **** about Texas. It's gigantic.
The part I live in is pretty similar to Louisiana, Arkansas, or anywhere else in the South. I've been all through the South- through East Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
It's all the same ****.

All your asinine bluster aside, Texas is not "the South". You can play however many sarcastic bitch maneuvers you wish but it does not change the fact that Texas is not "the South".
 
I love Austin. It's gorgeous. My buddy lives in Bee Cave.

There's a "Bee Cave Road" that I know of.
I hadn't realized there was an actual town called Bee Cave. I loked it up just now.
It's only twelve miles west of here.
Shows you how often I leave the city limits.

:lol:

He was talking to you.

I'm so sure. :roll:

Why don't you just ask him who he was talking to, instead of speaking for him?
 
I suggest you get control of yourself somehow, before you end up taking an enforced vacation.

I suggest you stop worrying about what I do and worry about yourself. I've never been suspended. How many times have YOU been suspended?
 
Cap'n, could you please help Jallman get control of himself and get back on topic?
He needs some assistance.
Thank you. :2wave:
