[Locomotive Breath]

Dukie07 -
I'm glad you like the book. Race relations in the south are not always as some would have had you believe. I read a biography of Jefferson Davis where it described his pre-war relationship with his overseer (effectively a plantation business manager) who was a black man who could read, write, and do accounting. That cuts against stereotype in more than a few ways doesn't it?

Didn't I originally recommend the book to you? Did you have a chance to look at it yet? Maybe Dukie07 will sell you her copy when she's done.

Thank you most kindly. As I "hazardously" posted during the first few days of this "situation" in Durham, I come from the West -- California, San Francisco. What I have learned since arriving here defies every single lying POS stereotype being perpetrated through "education" and "politics" and "MSM" in the west. I'm drinking it all up. Now, so many more things make sense to me. It makes me also understand more comprehensively the crap "endured" in SF, and the larger picture.

We been done lied to about the South.
