FBaseballGuy-Thanks or your response-agree about the WVa/OK comparison.
Catfish-Right on!! You helped me see something from a perspective I hadn't
thought of before.
I think it's great that for the most part we are discussing this sensitive issue
like mature adults and hopefully with an open mind.
I would like to throw something out and see what others think.
I honestly believe it's past time to use the "being enslaved" idea as to
why it is understandable for one race to put down another race. My family didn't own
slaves and I don't know anyone who was a slave. By the way, there were white and black
slaves in America.
As Dado4 stated, "I know right from wrong, bad from good, and trash when I see it. That's just me." Rationalizing that it's OK or understandable why one race can put
down another race because of past discrimination is WRONG no matter how it's sliced.
We need to decry acts of stupity and racism no matter whose mouth it comes out of. IMHO
