Will the Black daughter attend?
C-SPAN will be the place to be. They have those callers, I'm sure the "SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN" Bubbas will call in!

Where is she hiding? I wonder if the story or a tell-all book will hit the shelves soon.
C-SPAN and CNN will be off the hook. The Chit Chat thread is just a prequel of what the callers will say...! I don't know why Al, Jesse, or Tavis won't be invited, being that Thurmond was all progressive and all (or at least that's what the say in Chit Chat). He hired a Black person! Why are we mad? They need to check themselves over there.

The most disturbing part of the whole Strom discussion (among others) in chit chat is that the ideas in the forum represent a microcosm of our society at large. It's spelled out, with no room for misunderstanding, how our "peers" really feel about race relations in this country. While some are educated, open minded, enlightened people (i.e., sugar and spice and Cloud9) others are still racist, hateful, and hold onto archaic beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation (i.e., LOL, I won't call them out on here, but you know who they are  ). So, whenever I start getting complacent, believing that things have really changed in this country, I march directly over to chit chat/greek life and I'm knocked right back into the reality of the race issues that are stil festering. But like my daddy always tells me, "Keep your enemies where you can see them." I'm glad they put it out there for the world to see.

Another "anti-Black" person died this week too. I forgot his name.

I hear that. I'm anxiously awaiting the death of King Jim Crow Cracker II, now that King Jim Crow Cracker I has "expired." Vicious bigoted scum.

What makes me mad is that when I turned on the news this morning and heard the news, they were making him out to be this Real American Hero. Hubby was like, "I thought his name was Strom Thurmond, I guess it was really G.I. Joe." He's no hero to me and IMHO, I'm kinda glad he bought the farm.

Well if i came in here and started saying things bad about your dead grandfather would you all be mad. Thats how i feel about you all saying things about Brother Thurmond. He was a pillar of America and showed change from his days as a segregationist. Please let me know when some one you like dies so i can come and say bad things about him.

We have to give this person props for crossing the RR tracks. Make sure you come back to the forum. WE WELCOME ALL!
Regarding your "what ifs" Whatever man, whatever!
The thing is I, nor we cannot control you. Say what you will. (Just don't touch me) LOL
He's YOUR pillar, not mine.
