You're ridiculous.

Read the topic of the thread moron. It's not generic.

It is specifically about discrimination against black people.

Nobody killed those little girls because they were Asians or white,did  they?
AND FYI, I believe you said something about some prejudice against some Asian friends in New Orleans. Were you bragging about having Asian friends?

I don't have any Asian friends. I'm so Jealous of you,  and you are SO TOLERANT to have those people as friends.  Wonderful Nekochan. You are no doubt a better person than the rest of us.

I understand the old joke about a  racist claiming to have a black friend to hide the fact that he's racist, and I fully expected that response from several of you on the forum. Especially considering how childish about half the people on here are.  However, since the topic was whether things have changed in the last 50 years, it was  perfectly reasonable to mention an incident of discrimination that I witnessed personally, in just the last few years.

That some of you cannot understand that is way more telling about you than it is about me. This is the 21st century.  Nobody is "bragging" about having a black friend. A lot of people have black friends and black neighbors. Most of our children have close friends who may be black, or gay, or who may have purple or green hair. I suppose they're not allowed to mention their friends in a conversation, or they're somehow prejudiced or even bragging.   That's  moronic and idiotic, but then,like I said, at least half of you fit into that category.
Some people on here have a lot of growing up to do. They should try and grow up at least as much  as their children have.

I actually understand though. It's a touchy subject when you know how you actually do think but are trying to hide  it with a joke. Anything to change the subject to something more comfortable, right?
It's never comfortable to think that in only as far back as our own parents generation there were white people here in this part of the country, and a lot of them, that really didn't give a damn when a black child was killed by a bomb. I knew a lot of those people when I was a kid, and so  did every other person who grew up when I did.

Cat, you are the joke. So why not drop the lecture along with your holier than thou attitude.

You still don't get it; bragging about having a black friend .

In this day and age, non- racist people normally have more than one black friend. 


Hate to break the news to you....but we are friends with several black families and have numerous black friends. I do, however, think it is nice that you have a black friend. You have progressed from the way you were.

Nobody was bragging Mrs.  Kravitz, as I just explained. I have several black friends, but only ONE was with me that day. Now what is your answer to your best friend on this forum, Nekochan, talking about all those Asian friends she has. Is she bragging?  Damned sure sounds like it to me. Or could she just have been talking about racial discrimination, which I was and which everyone else in the discussion was doing.

You make a horse's ass of yourself Mrs Kravitz, when all you do is follow your buddy around and try to pick up her shit when she screws up.  Did you know that?  Some people actually think you're a joke.

Your  shame in being a Southerner seems to be based on your own guilt and inability to effect change around you.

The thread is about the horrible bombing and murder of innocent girls by some evil, racist men 50 years ago. 

When you mentioned young people and their experiences with their friends today....I am saying that in my experience with my kids and other young people that I know,  they don't describe their friends in the manner in which you posted.   They just say "my friend....."  

Young people didn't experience life in the 1960s so they don't compare or differentiate life from back then.

But thank goodness they have you to tell them all about it.  Again and again and again...and about how you and your family were so great and non-racist and different from all the other horrible southerners.

"Those people"?   What does that mean?

My Japanese friends tolerate me, not the other way around.  No, I wasn't bragging.  I was politely suggesting that just because you have poor service in a restaurant it doesn't mean it's racism.   There have been lots of times I was out having dinner and I wasn't getting good service while the tables across from me were getting service.  I assumed it was the waitress waiting on my section of the restaurant or poor training or such. Not that racism doesn't happen or exist, I just wouldn't automatically jump to that conclusion.   But if the security guard follows only a group of Japanese tourists throughout a store, and stands there and watches them from a few feet away the entire time they are in the store, while totally ignoring everyone else coming and going from the store, it might be racism.

And there's nothing that your mamma's little helper, Mrs Kravitz can do to explain what you just posted.

Like I said, there's not a word left to say after that bomb you just dropped.
So I don't plan to.

OH MY GOD.  My JAPANESE FRIENDS TOLERATE ME, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, their civilization is higher than the civilization of us caucasians, and you are their N. word? They tolerate you even though you are white and obviously  below them.   So it's okay to brag about having Asian friends, because THEY ARE A HIGHER LIFE FORM THAN YOU, but don't mention having BLACK FRIENDS because I'm just bragging because I tolerate them, even though from your explanation, they must be below me.



You just said it all without even trying. I'm going to be sure and keep a copy of that post.

Just to remind me of exactly how you do think. Don't worry, I knew that's how you thought all along.
That's it, I don't even have to inhabit this thread anymore, Neko, you've just said it all.

Pathetic!

Get off my thread, asshole.

What did I post which is not true?  I realize how it might sting but which of those would be where they are today without racism?

Are you even capable of writing anything without turning it into hyperpartisan BS?...and/or insults??
