THINGS NEVER CHANGE

I sent an email to my Uncle Hick, to make sure I had the address correct..at the end of the message I said:"Oh, by the way you don't happen to know who won the election do you?"
and this was his reply...I swear to Goddess, this is his exact message.

"Yes, a nigro."

I of course couldn't let him have the last word, so I replied.
"You misspelled negro."
sigh*

I'm sure your Uncle Hick will sleep well tonight.

Uncle Hick is appropriately named.

I knew you wouldn't let him get the last word.
It really is 1956 there. West got the good parts and some other areas or people got to keep the bad parts.
Well Obama is already improving America. He's giving the people who think The Gump i the best thing that ever happened to this country someone to blame and complain about.
Better start watching Uncle Hick's blood pressure.

Oh gee. Someday the oldest farts will die off and hopefully those that are left will be less... Uncle Hick-like.

*Hugs*

Which only goes to prove you can legislate laws but not thought!

Sadly Uncle Hick needs more than his spelling corrected.

I'm hearing a lot of the same here. I challenge it, but I can practically see my words bead up and roll right off thier backs.

Believe it or not, I've overheard similar comments in my Northern Canadian (conservative) town. Yeah. How do you deal with ignorance without resorting to violence?!

I have a relative who is 86 and he uses all the politicly incorrect terms for all ethnicities. But at least his politics are correct. He enjoys harrassing the wingnuts when the talk turns to politics. He'll ask the Repukes what they think about having a C**n for President??

Your present will come in the mail as soon as the clone is cooked. No it isn't Anthony Bandaris. I couldn't fit him into my cloning chamber.

You always have such good comebacks! Love it.

Wishing you all the happiness you can possibly handle, today on your birthday and all the days following.

I just found out with his recent visit that my brother is so prejudiced that I can't bring him along to visit our gay friends in WA for Thanksgiving without risking a complete awful time all around. It is a real hurtful challenge, because I love my only brother dearly, but so do I love my friends. Amazing to find there are so many opinions.
