haha! You would be at least the non-stressful relative. Because the rest ... arghhhhh!!!

Well, now, I dunno. Yes, slavery. But, the most racism? I would say perhaps the most OVERT racism. Which is not the most, just the most obvious.

Good grief. We are probably related.

Not accurate. In the South, the word "redneck" is embraced by many as a point of pride.

Thank you. Yes. No matter the stereotypes a few white Southerners have to endure because of some bad characters, it cannot compare with the years of disgusting slavery or the oppression and bad behavior since. Not to mention the fact that the racist comments he made were largely ignored, even today. (And good grief,…

I don't think people were surprised as much as rightly disgusted.

I've seen it. It's brutal. And quick. Snip! ::shudder::

I love this book. And it has an album by Poe attached it with the same name.

The multivitamin makes up, a tiny bit, for the crappy eating habits of most Americans. It's not a magic elixir, of course. It's just a vitamin.

I remember the 401 Levis that came in SIZE ENORMOUS unwashed denim, and you washed them once a month or so until they shrank considerably and conformed perfectly to you. Button fly, of course.

She is made of the awesome.

Yes. Sure. Let's not have men accept any responsibility.

Little known fact: The Great Pumpkin is also white. Verifiable. Fact. Something else with an unnecessary 'y.'

No problem. :) Sigh. I don't get it. This one would really be such an easy privilege to give up, but it's the one that really gets clamped onto. People who claim to be able to "fix cars" and "run a lawn mower" somehow can't figure out how to press "start" on the washing machine or put soap on some dishes or make a…
