Smitty? Duke=affable=tiny little tension breaker joke? Didn't mean to hurt.

Duke? Memphis garbagemen's strike, not Selma. The men were kept out in the weather while white workers were allowed into shelters. "I am a man" not an animal.

observe as you must,but observe me fully not partially but completely. If I destroyed something it is only right for me to replace it, if I make money from it, it is only right that I give some resources from the sources which I learned from. "You want a cookie" for doing something that you should do mr. smitty!!!!

Within a certain way, I could thank smitty and others. He "gets" most things, and at least is still here _kinda_ working on the other stuff. But you're pretty much spot on (dang...how'd that happen) when you say that this shouldn't be some out-of-the-ordinary effort--we ALREADY SHOULD be uniting and watching out for oppression and racism and nipping it in the bud.

Ottercat, thanks for the clarification.After i closed out my browser, I did think "Memphis".

BTW, I'm ALWAYS a very affable person!!

Duke, I sent them an e-mail and so far today I have only their regular "Newsletter." Was my e-mail to the supposed to say something specific? I mentioned our names but not anything else except we wanted to carry on.

Mr. Ottercat, you in no way came on too strong. I think Duke is correct in everything he says. He does, IMHO, have a bit of a time realizing that I get it. I get it. I get it.

Now if an old white guy like me can't come on the message board and say, "Hey, folks, I was in your corner in 1960 and I am today but I think there are SOME people and SOME ways of thinking that are misdirected in the black community," well, then, what is the use of the dialogue?

"Some black Americans are blowing the deal and, what is more, other black Americans (for the sake of "unity" or whatever) aren't standing up and saying it's a bad way to approach the problem(s)."

For example (straight from the Newsletter), what is with black people who deny black children being adopted by white families? What is UP with that?
