That's because you are not prejudice because you are a true Christian in your heart. I know a whole lot of black people that are prejudice.

My daughter had a friend, when she was in High School, and the girl had a black boyfriend. They were both going to run by his house and when my daughter got out of the car - blonde hair, blue eyes - the sisters on the front porch were NOT happy she showed up. She thought at first they were going to start a fight with her. One girl started yelling at her for no reason!

What is up with that?

Anyway, David reported a conversation which I am sure is NOT an isolated case. And I am also very sure Rush knows a lot of comments on the same lines and is reporting that. That's what I believe.

I think they go, solely, on the color of the skin. He is black.

He's no more black, than I am white.

PO, I'm just saying that this among other things is ridiculous: "Blacks are "upset" and "feel abandoned" by Obama and, he added, "I'm sure Tiger Woods' choice of females [is] not helping 'em out with their attitudes there, either."

The average black person is not truly bent out of shape about Tiger's choice of women whether Rush believes it or not. People are certainly not depressed about it. I don't see anyone's attitude being affected by it.

Truth be told, there are probably more white people who get truly bent out of shape when they see beautiful, young white women with a multi-ethnic Tiger, than black people who get truly upset at a multi-ethnic Tiger with white or other women.

I think it's equal, but I have heard and grew up with the comment - "They just want a feather in their cap". We were not allowed to date out of our race.

Anyway, my broccoli is ready, I'm cold and I'm hungry!

Laters! Good conversation. I'll come back later and determine if you are black and to find out why you had a container, with big red lips on the side, sitting on your couch in that picture you posted of your dog!! I want to know!!!

LOLOL Okay I just saw the pic again. I have no idea what that's about. I have, however, learned a valuable lesson about how I need to proof whatever I post here.

And I will teach you something about interior design. Your wall color (red) will highlight any accent you have on the sofa - hence - the lips stood out like a sore thumb! It's all about color!
