So sad that this type of thing is still happening, even if it is in America's deep south.

to the bit where we douse them in petrol and strike matches ?

douse those who do not agree with us
let me make that clear as it might otherwise have been taken in the wrong context

I know you like to plough your own furrow in these debates, but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - can you elaborate please?

PP - further to my previous post - my reference to 'moving on' was actually directed to my learned friend AOG, in reference to some robust exchanges of views over the last week or so.

It was not in reference to the notions of racism, or the people who practice it.

Hopefully this has cleared any misunderstanding.

yes, yes thank you for your useful clarification

As someone who has had post removed for calling AOG a racist, I am a bit perplexed by this thread. Why did it receive such negative comments?

You have to feel sorry for both girls in this story. Clearly the White girl is not racist despite the best efforts or her moronic father. Hopefully she will carry on ignoring her father's view and grow up to tell him what a cretin he is.

For once, Talbo, I agree 100 percent with you. Having lived in the Southern States, I am not surprised though - there was a spate of racial incidents when the New Orleans folk came across to Houston. Okay, thefts went up, probably out of financial need, but some of the KKK style attacks were disgraceful.

This thread's given me an idea for an album - 'Now that's what I call racism' featuring Al Jolson, The black and white minstrels, the Hitler Youth oompah band, Blue Mink, and many many more.

How about the predecessors to Creedence Clearwater, ludwig?

Click on it at your risk if you don't know the name......

How about the Marx Brothers? ;o)

AH
Here is a list of adjectives.That means describing words for your education.
I only want to reciprocate because you felt the need to educate me on another thread about how to bring up children.I have two 30yr+ sons who are quite successful in their life and carers.
Now we go for the adjectives: Irritating(used in a removed post between 1203-1203),Pompous,Arrogant,Self Opinionated,Disruptive. I will add provocative.
Now none of those describing words were directed at me on this OP whereas........?So you ask me what my problem is with you?I do not have the problem as other ABers have pointed out on this OP alone. I do not continually
turn a perfectly reasonable debate into a play ground slanging match as you frequently achieve.This has been pointed out to you in the past by another ABer.How often do we have to endure your pathetic concilatory weasel words at the end of most threads that you involve your self within?
Pathetic how you end your threads with "I see no point and I never want to talk to you again" etc etc.At least to three ABers. I include myself in your list.
Right from the word go you tried to shoot this post dead and disrupt it but you have failed.
It was mentioned earlier that you have your mod status removed.One can only speculate why!!!

retrocop - I hope you feel better now that you have got all that off your chest.

Shall we move on now?
