ORIGINAL: MissSCD MzMia: While I respect your theory on racisim in this country, I must share that mine is a bit different than your theory. Being raised in the deep south during segration in the 1960's, there is one word I detest with all my heart and soul. We saw it here the other night, and it made me very sick. In the 1980's, I was engaged to an African American male who was the love of my life. My grandfather told me if I ever married a black male, he would kill him. I was petrified. I left home. I left the state. That is why I am so opinionated when it comes to racial comments and slurs. Forgive me if I never get used to it. It needs to change. OF course it NEEDS to change, I was stating that for many people it will not change. I hope President Obama will make that happen. That is a very tall order, he would certainly be the first person in history able to change entrenched racism and racist beliefs. I am voting for him because he is pleasant and educated. He came from poverty and has made something of himself. The rest of the white all American male poplulation just cannot handle that, and they will be miserable for eight years. Then they will be miserable eight more years when we put our first female in the White House. They will also continue with vicious racial slurs, websites and comments. Regards, MissSCD Thank you for your comments as always MissSCD. I certainly did not write this OP to say that racial slurs, taunts, hatespeech, etc. was okay. I wrote this post to say that we should fully EXPECT it, and not let it raise our blood pressure or diminsh our joy! Great post!
