I live in Hempstead which is mostly black and hispanic, but more white people are coming back now that the 'dregs' are disappearing. My father is a full blooded Italian and my mother is from the British West Indies (black,spanish,french,dutch,etc.) who were together for almost forty years till he died. I was raised under the watchful tutelage of my dad who was a carbon copy of Archie Bunker in home where words like 'negro and colored' were common language. Why? My dad was old, and my mother was from a english colony and that's what they said. That's the level of integration in my life. I do think people ought not to play the hypocrite when discussing these issues so I don't mind the question at all. O'reilly is not on my 'watch list'. If I watch tv at all, it's to watch Hannity and Colmes. I also think the students will regret it. You are right on that point. I said in another thread they should be left alone. I said no one should go to their prom. I am sure this is going to fall out of the news pretty soon like every other news issue.

Well, you definitely have lived an integrated life and no doubt are uniquely bothered and hurt by this. But do you think the Governor of a state in which such a private event happens should have to stand before a firing squad for it?
O'Reilly is a moron. I think the kids that attended the all-white prom are singularly responsible for it, to go on a political witch-hunt is wrong!
