There is no defense as bad as a really,really,really bad defense.
Was that a wink at the end or is she afflicted?

I'm from the south too and had alot of your same upbringing. Humor me with a anecdote please.

My grandfather was as hard core racist as they come. He hated blacks so much, he bought all the houses surrounding his so he wouldn't have one as a neighbor. He couldn't do anything though, about the property across from him as a black guy owned that and had a viable recycling business going on.

Anyhow, one day this old fella's grandson who was right around my age, (six) was visiting. Little black boy. Being young children we automatically knew what the old folks either didn't or were conditioned out of - we're the same. So, we were playing in the driveway until my grandfather saw us.

He came running out, shouting the little boy away, hickory switch in hand. Then he wailed on me with that switch for what seemed like forever, although I'm sure it was only a minute or so. "Don't ever let me catch you with a (n-word) again" and such.

Fast forward to 15 years later - I stopped by my grandfather's house to show him my "new" car, a '69 Charger. There with him on his front porch, was that same little boy's dad, the junkyard owner from across the street, sitting in a rocking chair next to my grandfather. They had become good friends over the years of being neighbors.

Out of the house with two more beers in hand came the son. The same one I had been whipped, for playing with. Point being, it IS possible for you to moderate your views, you really lose nothing in the exchange. My grandfather gained two good friends who helped him alot in his later years especially after he lost grandma.

I never asked him what brought on the radical change. I didn't figure it was any of my business. I just accepted right then and there, change of this sort IS possible and there's nothing wrong with it.

No damage can be done for you to reconsider.

My grandfather was also racist. But towards Asians, on account of his being a Korean vet. Anywho, he lived in a run down neigjborhood in Detroit. Used to be a beautiful city when the whites lived there, but when the plants closed it became almost abandoned save for minorities. One day a neighbor Asian kid tried to steal my grandpas car but grampa caught him and made him do housework and overtime befriended him. The young Asian boy was impressionable and his older siblings and friends were trying to get him to join a gang. Other stuff happened that I don't really remember because grandpas story was pretty boring but in the end my granpa was killed by the older Asian gang but there were a lot of witnesses so it was implied they were arrested. Or something. Moral of the story is he also overcame his prejudices.

This is the exact plot and circumstances of the movie "Gran Torino" except in the movie, it's hispanics.

HAHA. Thanks...I remembered that name, but it was purged when I went to look it up. That was legendary.

HIjacks can happen apparently.

Back in the day A buddy I work with was married to a born again Catholic schoolteacher - only missionary lights off, protest the DaVinci Code etc type. He was pent up

One day, He got a call at work around 4pm and it was his wife. Her mother was visiting and they were wanting to check email. I hear him answer, tuck his head and go into a whisper "unbelievable - I have no idea" then he yells "Its unacceptable and I am calling them Right NOW! they cant allow viruses or hackers like that"

He looks shaken and I ask him what happened. He said he was surfing porn the night before and (2002 mind you) and he heard his wife coming down the hall. He had a folder he saved pics in for later admiring. Instead of hitting save to folder he hit save as wallpaper.

Apparently mom and wife turned on the computer and some chick was being run a train on...in multpiple tiles. He blamed it on Time Warners security and she bought it

If only her husband would talk to her from time to time she'd stop posting such shitty videos
