Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

The 'uncle tom' thing is played out. Whenever I heard someone say 'uncle tom' I wonder. I consider it a compliment. Much how I used to consider being called a zebra a compliment *lol*

I know you mentioned that before, but I still can't believe it: they called you a zebra?


That's moronic.

I don't head for the high grass when the Left turns up the political heat. That's just not my style. Indeed, I relish the fiery furnace.


Amen, open the church doors and pass the collection plate. Dinner will be sold right after in the kitchen.

Can I get another 'amen?'

zebra
twinkie
brainiac
nerd

I actually considered brainac and nerd a compliment. By the time grade eight rolled around everyone calmed down and I was just 'brainiac' :-)

What's bad about "twinkie?" That almost sounds cute.

I heard that dweeb and the so called conservative... They where upset that someone called Uncle Al and Uncle Jesse poverty pimps. They think that they choose who comes to campus to speak...

Amen can I get a witness? Am I still America's black vice president-cum- preacher?

Indeed, as did I. Mind you, one of the junior high name callers ended up marrying me years later.
