but i am going to remember your list the next time a young man in his 30's tells me his poor white ancestors working the coal mines had it just as bad as the "negroes". i was visiting his home when he made this shocking statement so i held my tongue. he is respectful of others but he believes this "line". not sure where it came from - but am having a bbq in a couple of weeks at my place and i am going to speak my peace to him.
