[QUOTE="DDD, post: 32334, member: 35"] Thanks. And, yes, I agree that politicians are all of one culture or race or creed or something because we all end up with a bunch of censored! LOL I find the posts really interesting as it so helps to define who both of you are. Unlike you I am a senior citizen who grew up in the South. My Mother also said "you'll understand when you are older". Believe me I AM older and I still don't understand how educated, caring, religious people thought it was aok to make the blacks sit in the back of the bus, drink from separate water fountains AND be out of the white section of town by dark. My best friend and I decided to sit in the back of the bus to show unity with "our" maids. It made sense at the time but it caused the blacks alot of grief...and, of course, lead to some unhappy moments at home. I always sought out the underdog as a kid because I was bright, cute, funny etc. (back in the day..lol) and by walking down the hall with a new kid or a poor kid or a slightly disabled kid it sent a message to my peers to treat them well. Subtle as it was, however, I always knew who would be welcome at my home and who wouldn't be. Life is a challenge. DDD [/QUOTE]
