No christmas at ut

To be fair, I'm more of a druggie than he. Or at least, I was.

Segregation is the easy way out and the comfort it supplies some people isn't worth the trade if you're interested in moving forward.

Sorry, but I don't have a very good opinion of druggies. It's a copout because people don't want to accept that life is not always a bowl of cherries. None of this is aimed at you. He insulted me and my friends.

 

[1972 Grad]

Lmao!

I presume you were there, and heard them say otherwise? How old are you?

 

[1972 Grad]

Honestly, neither make the least sense to me. But I guess its easier to convince masses that its wrong to hate black people than it is to teach them the type of rational thought that reaches that same conclusion. Unfortunately, its been twisted into ' its wrong to hate black people, and we should destroy anyone suspected of that sentiment'.

Who said anything about hating black people other than dickflicker calling my friends "Uncle Toms?"

 

[Carl Pickens]

Yes, I'm sure that is the case. I grew up in the south and heard about how happy and well treated most of the slaves were and the civil war was just a war about states rights.

Yeah, I think slavery might have ended in the 1860s not 1950s.....

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Well, this thread is certainly interesting....

 

[Carl Pickens]

There are individuals at higher institutions that take things like Wicken seriously. It's not about banning everything; it's about creating an atmosphere at a higher institution that completely accepts people from all perspectives.

If this is the case then those that are so easily offended need to start accepting the fact that the world doesn't revolve around them.

Wasn't talking about you hating black people. I'm talking about the transformation of a racist society into one that is so consumed with eradicating racism that we're willing to ruin someone's life, or career in order to foster the appearance of enlightenment

Oh, ftr..I would much rather see Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins lighting up the scoreboard on each other, than watch Dr J and Artis Gilmore dominating the ABA over and over

I don't give a damn about your anecdotal evidence, I'm just sitting here enjoying you attempt to justify why segregation wasn't all that bad.

This could be a case study in "back in my day things were perfect!" syndrome.

Riding the bus for over an hour to go to middle school in the bowels of Nashvile was great fun for my best friend....... When he lived within walking distance of the neighborhood middke school

You want to join in, Corrral?

 

[ClearwaterVol]

I'm sure if a poll was taken minorities and homosexuals would express a desire to return to the 50s. LMFAO.

Sure Mushy

There were probably more fathers around back then

 

[MercyPercy]

Sure Mushy

I'm super interested in hearing how the inconvenience of your buddy having to take a long bus ride meant segregation was A-ok. LOL

 

[ClearwaterVol]

So did integration cause the breakdown of the white nuclear family or is this just longing for the good ole days by old folks with nothing but anecdotal evidence?

I'm sure you'd have thoroughly enjoyed the lunacy of it. Maybe when you have kids you'll enjoy the same scenario. Your kids can be bused across the city into the hood when they have a school less than a mile from home..... Just for the sake of segregation.

I made no reference to segregation. I referenced the 50's

How did you ever survive such an ordeal?

Someone set up a charity fund for Carl's ptsd.

Then i guess you answered my question, though you've jumped into a conversation about how black folks preferred the segregated life.

I have no idea what caused the breakdown of the black family. Do you?

They may have preferred some aspects of it.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

Like getting hanged for glancing at a white chick?

 

[Carl Pickens]

Now corrral, that's not very nice.

That your walking dead impression?

 

[mrorange211]

This is embarrassing. Folks on Facebook are tearing UT up over this.

That's because Facebook represents the mob Alexander Hamilton warned you about.
