God bless HK. One of the finest men I know.
God bless this wise gentleman.
""Blacks and whites are a family in the south," he said. "Whites have always been proud to see black people advance. It is now time for people to know our honorable heritage."
For the vast majority, this is true. There are some bad eggs...
Way back in My Family history the name Mungin, or Mongin shows up. It is the part of the Family that once owned Dafuskie Island. If You go looking for Mungins, or Mongins, up around Savannah, or Beaufort, and find some, They are likely to be Black. I have no idea which directions genes flowed, but, no matter, these Folks are likely cousins of Mine, and I have absolutely no problem with that.
You can pick Your nose, but You can't pick Your relatives!
One of these days, We are going to get organized, and kick all the Carpetbaggers off of Our islands, golf courses, and all.
Mr. Edgerton is one of Our own.
