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....

What could your point possibly be for posting this? MineralMan Aug 2014 #19

Why don't you alter your OP now that you know this is some discusting racist bullshit? bettyellen Aug 2014 #20

It seems to me that the OP knew it was not Michael Brown MineralMan Aug 2014 #22
