ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Might help if you ever figure out how to post. And, nope, I adore my father... and my family. I can separate the teachings of the past from the people of today. quote:
And this presumes there is no other 'mentality,' as it were, of another sort? You do understand what pervasive is, yes? I would certainly hope so. And, obviously, since I am from the south, and were surrounded by people who thought that way all my life... from school mates and teachers to priests and clergymen... to employers and even boyfriends... and yet I do not have that same "mentality"... your attempt at the presumption would be extremely off. Anybody who reads your posts understands what 'pervasive' means. They're used as example of the word in the dictionaries. Other than that, it's safe to say that your personal experience is different than many others'. My own personal experience involved many others outside my own family, and what you describe was not generally accepted in our society, the exceptions being considered as just that. Our experiences were very different, I'm just glad I didn't have yours. I actually had the experience, when visiting my folks after they moved to Illinois, of hearing a guy laughing it up with his friends at a party where I was running the sound for. He said "yeah, I worked with a n*gger onetime," followed by 'ha ha,' yuk yuk,' etc. Something kept my fist out of his face, don't ask me what it was. This aside from all the fuckwits from north of whatever border that said (I kid you not) "I like when we do a show (an exhibitor function, actually) in the South, I can say the word n*gger and not worry about it." Even the somewhat bigoted person on our crew did an immediate face-palm on that one. "dude!" But if you insist that all that is confined to the South, with greatest concentration in SC, .... You need to get around more, that's all I can say.
