In reply to the discussion: Iowa high school tight-lipped after armed students caught burning a cross in KKK hoods [View all]whathehell
(30,460 posts)83. Yes we are..
and what I remember most about the '60's was the civil Rights movement and, no, if the white people in my area we're upset about it, they didn't make much noise in that direction...It might have helped that my parents were NOT haters of any kind and didn't like other people who were. I started the seventies as a 20 year old in San Francisco which was a kind of counter cultural mecca at the time, so that racist shit wasn't flying there.
When I returned to the East Coast, my parents had become even more liberal and I hung with musicians and the same kind of educated, hip people I did on the West Coast.

Yes. Yet somebody here is very tender of the feelings of the white boys who persecuted them...

Where, exactly, did I say that "all" boys or "all" men have this problem. Really.

There is a long line of research that shows parenting style does not matter.

I am as furious at many of the DUers' responses as I am about the teenage racist morons
