Thank you. That's exactly the reply that I was waiting for!

Your original comment:

and I can only assume it continued during the time Madelyn Dunham was growing up. Apart from that, the Family lived in Oklahoma and Texas before moving to Washington.

Truncating a quote is something only a little child does. Here is the quote in it's entirety.

No, because I think Madelyn Dunham was utterly ashamed of the fact that she had a Black Grandchild. Madelyn Dunham was from Kansas, and from my Reading of Frank Marshall Davis' book "livin' the blues" they were pretty prejudice in Kansas during the 1920s, and I can only assume it continued during the time Madelyn Dunham was growing up.

Truncating a quote is an attempt to change it's meaning by omission, and is a form of lying. Why are you attempting to deceive?

You make a comment that i'm lying without any quotes for me to figure out which of my statements you are objecting to, then when I pick the one which I THOUGHT you must have been referring to, you say , "no, it's the OTHER one." (And then you cut out the part of THAT quote which renders it in context.

So how old was Madelyn Payne Dunham when her daughter Stanley was in school? It was actually Stanley Ann who was growing up there, not Madelyn! That seems to contradict your implied predjudice.

Nobody said Madelyn grew up in Oklahoma or Texas. Madelyn Dunham was from Kansas, which according to Frank Davis was just as Prejudiced.

How about this? As far as you are concerned, i'm lying. Please ignore me henceforth as unworthy of your attention. I hope to treat you the same way. (Though I shall be surprised if you won't insist on demanding my attention.)

then who wrote this?

No, because I think Madelyn Dunham was utterly ashamed of the fact that she had a Black Grandchild. Madelyn Dunham was from Kansas, and from my Reading of Frank Marshall Davis' book "livin' the blues" they were pretty prejudice in Kansas during the 1920s, and I can only assume it continued during the time Madelyn Dunham was growing up. Apart from that, the Family lived in Oklahoma and Texas before moving to Washington. I think most of Madelyn Duham's life she was exposed to a culture that was very prejudiced against blacks, and where miscegenation was a Felony Crime. (Not Kansas, but it was in Oklahoma and Texas. See Map at link.)

and btw, you also just wrote, "Truncating a quote is an attempt to change it's meaning by omission, and is a form of lying. Why are you attempting to deceive?" and then truncated your own quote, so why are you trying to deceive us?

You've implied over and over again that growing up in Oklahoma is a reason for Madelyn's unproven prejudice, yet it was Stanley Ann who went to grade school in Ponca City, Oklahoma, not her mother Madelyn!
