The one that I saw this morning said, "Guess who?" and left it for everyone to connect the dots, which naturally, given the current events, led to Michael Brown.

I'm Guessing you missed that part of it. I even thanked everyone for the help and the links....don't like it? Put it up for a jury..I'll take my chances. I was posting on this site when there were less than 500 members...I don't have anything to prove to you.

All I needed was a link or two to win an argument...my friends are even east Texan and wingnut, but they've been my friends for 35+ years...we debate and we agree to disagree because we've been friends for 35+ years....we respect our limits. I'm sorry if you've had to dump old friends or family, but I'd rather try to shed some light on something they were misinformed about than delete them. I don't know if they are racist or not...it's not a side I've ever seen, so until I see it, I'll assume they are still better people. Again, thanks for your input....

And why attach Michael Brown's name to it, since you know it is not a photo of him? I'll wait for your explanation.

And that it is NOT a picture of Michael Brown.
Or do you prefer leaving crap like this in GD- even though you know better?
