Do you really believe the traditional south is a safe haven of human rights for all Americans?How many years have you lived in the South?Let me say, I would not consider living in certain states in America just like I wouldn't feel safe in some areas of Austria or Germany to name a few.My family's history goes back well over 300 years in America.I like to think I know a few things about this country

well i'm part Native american so i go back 3000 i guess . sooo let me get this straight . with all the poor Black areas of NJ . most of witch are not even given basic social services like police fire schools etc etc yet when out of a region of over 100 million people one of them places a nose in a tree it warrants someone from up in that area coming down to preach about it . ????? and of course blame them all for what one of them did .


Listen i think the nose is a horrible thing to do but there are over 300 million people in the US and millions that visit each year of coarse there will always be a few jacka*ses . but i can tell you that for as diverce a nation the US is this is few and far between .

Pretty simple aye? 4. The majority of my family were poor arse immigrants who happened to the south after the potato famine and often worked and lived on someone elses farm. White slaves....my grandfather was so proud of the photo of him and 2 of his siblings perched atop a mule. He told us, "we were so poor the man my daddy worked for loaned us his mules for our garden. Daddy would do the mans farming first and then was allowed to borrow the mules for his own crops."

If anything I consider myself the norm, because my family ended up in a foreign land working like dogs to make someone else a buck. I am proud of that. Far to many Americans want to dwell on their own family history. Yes it is nice to know, but it is what it is ...... the past. Keep stirring the pot, whichever side you think you are on, and racism will never truly go away.

I thoroughly agree. When will people get over their fascination with plastic surgery? Most noses look perfectly fine as they are.

I'm terrified of noses. If I saw one hanging from a tree in my backyard I'd probably drop dead of fright. :ohmy:
