Get them to join up and I'll do my best not to call them a f**king Oreo to their face. They don't wear sweater vests, do they Jay? just kidding...maybe.

I spent the first 10 years of my life in South Central L.A. which I imagine is every bit as badass as Detroit. The Motor City did produce the music I cut my teeth on. Even after those mop topped limey's showed up it was the music of choice in our house! We were seduced by those guys too eventually. Hell, I even listened to some Beach Boys but only in secret. The ridicule would've been rough from the kids I hung with. The first band I ever saw live was Martha Reeves and the Vandellas playing over at USC's frat row from the back of a flatbed, Dancin' In The Street. There was a local LA TV station sponsoring these shows, there's probably video in a dusty archive somewhere of me doin' the Jerk or the Slide.
Man, I hope no one has uploaded that to youtube!
Now I live in Orange Co., Calif. A righty wingnutters promised land of crackerdom, I'm embarrased to admit but someone has to keep tabs on you crazies here behind the Orange Curtain....

Wait and see.
You believe this guy? Do you really think he's telling it like it is? Why wouldn't you recommend PoliticalChat to your real friends Jay? That sounds like you're embarrased of the time you spend here or is there another reason?
Clue me in cause you're not making much sense or maybe it's just this old nail pounder is too stupid or naive. Wouldn't be the first time. I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shop mang but it seems like I'm getting mixed messages.

Yeh, I'm going to direct my black friends to a board, and point out they should look at the "niggerize" thread. Do you libs ever think anything completely through? It's like the tape breaks half way through the thought.

You know one of the things about reading the threads here is having people tell me what I think. I mean to say it would be terrible having to go through the day without knowing how I think.

I agree with this contention in case you were wondering. The use of the descriptive angry plays into that common narrative that blacks are angry and to be feared. Flame away.
Good for him. Because that's EXACTLY what it is. Going back to......Oh, the "Welfare Queen" days. Racial resentment, plain & simple, has been the modus operundi.

That's what I believe to be true....I don't give a damn what you think.

Apparently, it takes one to know one.

(And......do you really have any? Somehow, I doubt it.)
