I was the only white player on my adult basketball team, my mother took my brother and I to black churches when we were growing up, she did a good job. I never used the N word in the context of derogation. Never. Do not care if you believe me or not, but Eagle Scouts have core beliefs and when we are not climbing up clock towers shooting people.....most of us believe what we were taught.
In regard to Bob......how about a novel idea. Please defend the worst schools in the nation, and tell me how good the education of those children have been over the last fifty years where poverty and hate are the rule over an entire multi state region where government subsidy is the rule, and politics of hate are the rule. So, what you are saying is Seaoat......you are so fricking correct, we want the pleasure of somehow degrading your grade school( top ten percent in test scores in the nation), or my high school which had a remarkable curriculum and incredible staff.........why would I give you the same pleasure I am enjoying......because if you were truly ghosts.....you could have said...."you know what Seaoat......we went to school with you"......
This is incredibly informative.......probably not one person here did anything for schools after they skipped classes and skated academically thereafter, but tell the truth about education standards and damn.....instead of working to improve local school, look to find out where Seaoat went to school. Here is a clue......Seaoat led an effort to raise 600k for public schools and did......kids got to enjoy co-curricular and academic improvement, and did really well because of private people not sitting on the sidelines defending crap education, but working to make improvements.......sorry....it is just what it is in casper land.......my wife will give you the details after I am gone, but the giggles at this logic........priceless......thank you.
