OK, OK, I'll stop with the faux racism now before I get in trouble. I think the point is made.
How about faux painting? I hear people get paid good money for that.

Snowbird, I know what you mean. I think it is funny that people are shocked when a black person does good in academics or politics. And if you want to really piss off all the bigots and racists in the world, the best way to do it is to make damn sure you and your kids do better than them in every way possible. That's the best revenge. Do better than them and enjoy your life more than them in spite of them. They'll all die from a bleeding ulcer just thinking about it.
I hate to say it, but I've seen such a thing in my family, too. I had relatives that I hadn't seen in years visiting my house here in Georgia. Apparently, the word didn't make it through the grapevine to them that my wife wasn't white. Well, they called the house for directions and my wife answered. She gave them the directions for me. Well, when they finally got to the house, they were shocked that she was "black" (even though she's several different races, to everybody she's "black"). One of the first things they said was "My, she speaks so well! She doesn't sound black!" I know that they were trying to be nice, but I just had to tell them how damn stupid that sounded. My wife was privately schooled and college educated. What did they expect her to sound like?? I asked what type of phone they had, because I had a top of the line cell phone and it wasn't equipped with the feature that allowed me to hear colors.
As I've said before, I moved to Georgia when I was still in school. I was shocked when I was in a mostly black high school about some of the things I saw. I learned that if one of the black kids was doing good in school and applying themselves, the other black kids would accuse them of "trying to be white". If one of the black kids got good grades and spoke properly, they were considered to be "sellouts" or "oreos". I find it disturbing that many white people act shocked when a black person does well in academics, but I find it equally disturbing that other black people treat them as "sellouts" for doing good; that somehow they've abandoned their culture or heritage by becomming a success. HOW STUPID IS THIS???? Society has a long way to go to stop that kind of stuff from happening. It all starts at home with parents. I drill it into my daughter's head every day that she needs to do good in school, so that way when she grows up she can do whatever she wants, go wherever she wants, have whatever she wants and be whatever she wants.

I understand you're White with a Black wife, right? How does SHE feel about this? Whenever a White person insults ONE Black person, he insults ALL Black people. When will you guys get it?
My wife doesn't care one way or the other. We only get offended if people verbally accost us personally. The way we see it, "we" are not "them". I don't really consider myself as belonging to any particular group, and neither does my wife, so we don't really get angry when somebody insults a skin color. We are just people. We belong to the human race. To us, it is obvious that someone who insults another person just because of skin color is an idiot. We rarely consult the opinions of idiots. People like my wife and myself judge people on an individual basis. It does not even occur to us to judge people simply on basis of race.
That being said, there are many people that DO judge people on basis of race. I know they are out there. I have met people of all races that hate people of other races, religions or nationalities. Sometimes, it is easy to let those people's thoughts and attitutes bother you. You and I both wish those people weren't around, and we'd rather not be exposed to the crap that spews out of their mouths. But, I have reached the realization that those people are out there, and they will always be there. We chose not to listen to them, because we know that the things that they say aren't true and don't apply to us. So, that's why I said that just as long as they don't attack me or my family personally, I'm not worried about it. Let them talk. It's a useful tool, when you think about it. If some idiot is spouting racist crap, that's a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're a racist. Stay away from those people. Simple enough. Come to my house instead. We'll grill some steaks, have a beer and enjoy ourselves.

TRUST ME PEOPLE! There are bigots and racists everywhere, and it's not just WHITE PEOPLE!!!!! Trust me on this! I think that we as a nation need to stop nitpicking every time some idiot opens his mouth and says something bigoted or racist. You and I know that whatever the idiot said, it's probably not true, so just ignore it. There are just as many black bigots and racists as there are white. Growing up in metro Atlanta, I think I met just about every black bigot in the western hemisphere! Black talk show hosts like Tom Joyner shoot off their big, ignorant mouths saying things like George Bush caused hurricane Katrina to kill blacks and that white people created AIDS to kill blacks..... and NOBODY bats an eye at his comments! Kanye West gets on live national TV and flat out tells the whole country that the President doesn't care about black people, and that was OK. What if we ignored the Bill O'Reilleys and Kanye Wests of the world? Why do we still listen to people like this? Obviously somebody likes what they're saying, otherwise they wouldn't get paid anymore to say these things.
So, back to Bill O'Reilly.... He has said a lot of stupid things. Whether he said them to be funny or not doesn't matter. Hell, if you think about it, it IS funny, mainly because it illustrates his ignorance! But, a professional like O'Rielly has to know that everything he says is under scrutiny and that if he doesn't want to take heat for his comments he needs to think before he speaks. Personally, and mind you, I'm saying PERSONALLY.... I don't care what ANY of these people say. Screw them and their ignorance. They aren't friends or associates of mine. I'm about as worried about Bill O'Reilley's comments as I am worried about what kind of underwear he puts on in the morning. Just as long as he doesn't show up at my house insulting me or my family. Then we'll have a problem.

I didn't like some of the businesses I've worked for over the years. So I started my own.
If we can't work with the present system, we have to create something to replace it.
Exactly, nvrgnbk. There are people out there that have rejected the two major parties. As for me, I tend to lean towards the Libertarian philosophy of government. More and more people are beginning to realize that there's something wrong with the Democrats and Republicans, and people are seeking alternatives. I vote Libertarian most of the time, even though I know my candidate will not win. More and more people like me are doing the same thing and we're starting to make an impact. The ballot box can solicit change, it just takes persistance.

My mom's cousin used to call us Jehovies or Jehovie Rollers. A guy I know called JWs Jehovah's Kenievels, like Eval Kenievel. But I think that people who call JWs Jehovah Witness are just not aware they're saying it wrong. It's kinda like when people refer to me as an Electronic Technician rather than an Electronics Technician. I tell them that if I were an electronic technician, they would have to put new batteries in me every morning. They still don't get it.
