Depends on who she said it to, lol. MOST people would not be violent.

I do know some folk who would have smacked her upside the head though. Just that mama-slapped-you kind of hit, you know? Hurts your pride more than your head mostly.

Were one of my acquaintances (I'm sorry but I don't expect to ever hear those words come out of my friends mouth- and we're a biiiiiig, mixed, determinedly non-PC group) to say that in the context of a serious discussion on race I would probably have just had to stop talking to them. Immediately. After picking my jaw off the ground that person would be classified as not someone I'd waste my time with, conversation over. No need to show my ass because they showed theirs.

Anyway, sorry if you feel I'm picking on you, but you MUST admit PM Mama, that that statement BELONGS in the GCers say the darndest things thread...

And I don't really hold it against you- I think you're rather funny actually, it's just not in my nature to let stuff like that go! Call it a flaw but when people show their ass I remember, and I will have jokes about it FOREVA.

As far as being a good person, and favorite in your sorority, that's great for you. No need to try to pitch it to us here on GC, though, after all, it is only the internet, right?

Saying what you feel in-person... I just hope that if you EVER have the discussion about "prejudism" in person that: a) you have educated yourself considerably, and b) if not, that the people are as intelligent/non-violent as MOST of us here on GC. I am almost POSITIVE that if someone had made the statement that neicy81 did, and you had the same reaction in person, a beat-down would have ensued.
