[who knows what evil?]

Do you have a sign on the rear window of your car denoting you are a freeper?

As a matter of fact; I do. (We're EVERYWHERE, after all! :-)

Who the Sam Hill do these people think they are? Half my family lives in SC. I hadn't planned on seeing the folks before summer but I guess I'll have to take a little weekend run down there.

[Clemenza]

I'm sure your ancestors would be delighted to know that Simpsonville is now a bedroom committee for GE engineers. It is more prosperos now, however, than in the past.

The naalcp has outlived its usefullness. They must continuously find new "outrages" to get media attention and contributions. Trust me, us folks here in SC are not intimidated in the slightest by their tactics. And the boycott's good for business!

[GussiedUp]

Don't forget Beaufort - the whole area down there is lovely - Parris Island - where I, and tens of thousands of Marines before and after I, trained. The whole SC Coastline is beautiful and this NCer wants to move that way someday. It will be like going home.

[GussiedUp]

ROFLMAO - I live right up the road a bit from there! I didn't know they were on the net!

[sig226]

Oh, I believed you. I've never heard either one and I want to know what they say. Like I said, why am I sure I will not like the answer. Where can I find them?

[The Duke]

I wish I didn't have to work for a living so that I could run around doing this kind of crap.

[dansangel]

"What's with you people. Atlanta is a good place to live, granted you're not in Dekalb, Central and South Fulton, and Clayton (most) counties.

Huh?

Translation, please.

[bootless]

Does the Interstate Commerce thing that gets thrown into every lawsuit apply here? This is disgraceful!

[nonliberal]

Maurice does make a good sauce.

[rdb3]

I'm not an attorney, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could come into play.

From your profile:Getting ready to sell my Ranch and move to a secluded lake in the mountains of Arkansas.

Lake Ouachita?

I live in Georgia now but am a native of Columbia SC. Eau Claire to be more specific.

As a kid, my grandad was an orphan in Edgefield SC. (Yep home of Strom.) At thirteen years of age he hitched a mule to wagon and headed for Columbia to build a life for himself. He told me it took him about a week. Right away he went to work for the Olympia Mill...and worked there in the same spinning room for 45 years. A "lint head" he was.

In the forties he thought better of living on the "mill hill" and bought a few acres in Eau Claire. He and my grandmother built their modest home themselves in their spare time. Then, they gave each of their children a portion of land to build their home on. But only my dad took them up on it. So on this land in Eau Claire is where I grew up.

In the mid sixties we had integration and we had white flight in our area. But we stayed on regardless because this was the property my grandad had dedicated his life too. Besides we weren't racists and felt more or less secluded and safe on our property. But our property had to be accessed by driving or walking if we took the bus thru what became a black community. I was constantly harassed by roving gangs of blacks. Sometimes they would block the road forcing me to turn around and to try to go home a little later...which I would do. But when their outgrageous and racist activities caused them to begin similar harassement to my teenaged sister and my two teenaged female cousins my grandad and grandmother were raising, my grandad and dad decided perhaps it was time we should move on and give it up...and so we did. It broke my grandads' heart to leave that place and he never recovered.

So yea, I have a little experience with these black border patrols already.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

The naacp should be sued for denying people their ability and opportunity to make a living.This sounds like the"BLACK CLAN"to me with these unlawful patrols and no doubt followed by threats and intimidation.

[ex-Texan]

They ought to be arested on the spot and charged with intentional interference with interstate trade and the right to freely travel between states.

The charges will be based on the U.S. Constitution.

Arrest 'em and demand the FBI come and get'um.

Black Biker weekend takes place at Atlantic beach which was historically the black beach. Black bikers come into town a week after the white biker weekend which does take place in Myrtle Beach.

Well, it may technically be in Atlantic Beach, but those people that are swarming all over North and South Myrtle Beach on two wheeled motorized vehicles on the same week look black to me.
