Your abject lack of reading comprehension blows your "vaunted " academic skills to smithereens!
President Bush was born in Conn., but was whisked off to Texas, while still a toddler. While THAT makes him much more of an " EASTERNER ", than your claim on the continent of Africa,it is, nonetheless,incorrect.
That HUGE chip on your shoulder, is because of white guilt helping to put it there through AA and then having whites thinking that you got where you are through AA only, which, in turn, annoys you. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh and you claim to be " bright " ?
I am not " sensitive ", nor a liberal. I object to error filled posts, by people, like YOU, who either don't know the facts, or ignore them.
And you don't know the way of the world, nor have you adjusted to it and you aren't dealing with any of it at all, if your posts are a correct reflection of yourself.
And, kiddo, I was a CONSERVATIVE,many long years before you were ever a gleam in your father's eye. Being a " Conservative before being a Republican " makes you nothing.Fringers and MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THOUERS aren't Conservatives at all. As a matter of fact, a Conservative Dem, like Zell Miller, is a better Conservative than YOU Are any day of the week and a month of Sundays to boot. :-)
LOL you can stick with that Dem all you want but I wouldn't trust Zell with my back at all. Anyone who is willing to turncoat on his own party is eligible to turn on you.
As far as being an easterner, he was. He was born in Conn. whisked as you say to Texas where he went to grade school and some high school he then went to the east during the end of high school, college and grad school. No one is trying to undermine what he did, I think you guys are just a little sensitive maybe we all need to go through sensitivity training so I can say stuff that makes you feel oh so good.
I don't have a chip on my shoulder for having AA there. I dislike it and it has been something I have had to ignore just like if someone is short or if I was poor. That is why I said I just deal with it. As far as me having this chip b/c of white guilt well I don't. I have had many friends who look different then me(skin color wise) and the majority of them are white. When people get to know each other they drop the crap that is ingrained in their head through the media and treat each other like humans that is why I don't have a chip on my shoulder.
As far as you being a conservative before I was a gleam in my fathers eye. I think he was born with that gleam and also had it in another life perhaps as early as 1200 B.C. So therefore your last statement is false(just joking with you). Basically what I am trying to say is lighten up.
