Good Black folks on FR don't remind everyone of past or present racism? Well I guess that excludes you as I've yet to read a thread where you are not constantly harping on the issue.

You need to get out more or maybe it's that your memory is very selective regarding my FR posts.

Ok Ma.....I think you are a conservative and proud of being "black". I think that's fine too. I like Halle and Denzel and Sydney but their politics are a bit left for me. I'm more of a Morgan Freeman fan....understated dignity.

I think some white folks are sort of tired of the black "trumpet" always being tooted....that doesn't make those folks racist...just weary of being part of the oppressor class. OTOH, I understand folks who consider themselves black regardless of the purity of their black gene pool feeling a need to celebrate. I don't think either side is actually wrong but either side can be a bit shrill.

On a lighter note, the heavy set black woman who was Scarlett O'Hara's maid in GWTW...she was mentioned last night. Has anyone ever heard the rumour that she was a lesbian and that her and Tallulah Bankhead (a blueblood Bama white sybarite gal) had a lesbian affair in the late 30s. I'm not joking. NOW...that was groundbreaking from a variety of PC perspectives...LOL.

Regards MA!
