I agree with you StAnn, I didn't listen to this particular call, but from what I have learned about the WT, very little would surprise me anymore. 10 years ago, if someone told me there was a pedophile problem in the JW's, I wouldn't have believed it. 10 years ago I never believed the WT would have anything to do with the UN.

Six Screens comments on controversial conference call
by kool aid man06 inwithout question, the ravyn guiliani interview on the six screens conference call created lots of controversy.
ravyn's experience with sra (satanic ritual abuse) was instantly rejected by so many.
it was as though people pre-judicated her story before she had a chance to tell it.

The Reason ex-JWs Don't Communicate Well With Others
by StAnn ini've been giving this a lot of thought.
i'm thinking that, as a born-in, i was raised thinking that everybody who wasn't a dub was stupid and i had to go door-to-door to enlighten them.
and that the ones who were so stupid and stubborn as to not respond to my message (which was all of them, lol!

It is just the opposite for me, I can bond better with "worldly" people more than EX-JW's, especially those with similar backgrounds and culture.

But what I am wondering is if the people/government of the South even recognized the emancipation proclamation? I have asked this before and the answer was that the the slaves were not freed until the Union soldiers freed them, or the owners voluntarily freed them. What do you think?

I forgot to mention that within Eastern Kentucky there are 2 small black populations, one is in Hazard and the other is in Harlan, the funny thing is that down there the black people talk with the same mountain accent that the white people do, and you can hardly tell it apart.

You are right, as I was talking about the 50's and 60's, not today of course.

Well from what I have read, California was very racist at one time too.

Many places in the north had "sundown laws", which stated that a black person had to leave town once the sun set.
I lived in Mississippi, and it definitely was racist, however visiting Southern Indiana in the 80's and 90's, I found things that shocked me even more than Mississippi. I saw signs next to the road with black cartoon characters with circles and red lines through them,
Yeah Indiana had the largest Klan membership at one time.
As for Eastern Kentucky, it is more of a "difference" issue. Most Eastern Kentucky people I know are not truly prejudiced and will treat everyone with kindness, however they don't see black people that often so it is kind of a novelty when they do.
Back in the late 1940's, a black pilot crashed his military plane in Eastern Kentucky and was rescued by the townspeople and taken to the local hospital, he became a quick celebrity there and years later was asked to be the Grand Marshall of the parade. -

It is kind of disappointing yes, but then again I didn't vote for him based on his personal opinions, but rather what kinds of legislation he was for/against.
