To all ladies and gentlemen of all colors. Some of the bigotry comes from homes of all colors. My daddy did not like blacks or any color. He was politically correct due to his job . He told me to get along with every one no mater what their color. I say love everyone reguardless of color. We all need each other. Republican or Democrat. God did not intend on US hating each other. Some of the Blacks the Racist type complain about how White s treat them . And they want an apology for what happened for over 400 years and just up till 1970's . I refuse to apologize for anyones actions other than my own. Now What do you think the Indians thought about my white ancestors coming and taking their land. I can tell you for I am also part Cherokee Indian. They hated it! Remeber the Trail of Tears too please. Men of all colors have lied, cheated, killed, and stole to get ahead. Lets all try to move forward. Leave the past behind.Nothing wrong with history,lets not repeat it!!!

It is a shame Rosebud, and can you believe its just skin. Something no one had any control over. Who picked what color or where they were born? No one. I"m on the other side of the fence. When I'm at a black gathering its the white man's fault for everything. White women get away with everything. A black man marries a white woman and he is called an @ss kissing sellout uncle tom. Its on both sides. I have low expectations for the south and the race war. One bad apple will spoil the whole bunch!

A cross is suppose to be a religious symbol. If some idiot wants to burn a cross on someone elses property, he should be charged. I assume it was suppose to be some kind of raciest thing. The other day I was standing in line at the grocery store, behind me was a man wearing a hat that said W.O.W., a closer look read "war on whites". Racism is alive and well everywhere, it' a crying shame.
