Dick, you almost made a good post, but you had to throw that 'skin tone' remark in there. Back in those days, any brash, loud mouth individual was unusual and tough to like immediately. My brother-in-law lives in Lumberton. Had a black man who worked for him. He was welcomed anytime and even sat at their dinner table. You shouldn't throw out blanket statements about entire communities like that. You really don't know. How many white people can rent the Compro Event Center? I know someone who tried and was denied. Guess why? No one is perfect but we try.

Did you see the Ali/Holmes fight? OMG.....that fight should have been stopped. Even Holmes looked stopped punching, looked at the ref, the ref didn't stop it and he went back to pounding Ali. If that didn't bring on shaken brain syndrome (not sure if that is what it is called) I don't know what can. You are dead wrong on how people felt about Ali. You are always going to have haters no matter who it is. People didn't know what to think about Ali. There was no one prior that had a mouth on him like Ali. He took some warming up to, and really, you know this. Go ask any white man who the greatest boxer ever is. You just like to blow off steam

Injectible Parkinson's Disease.......what an idea. Only you could come up with something like that. Your education precedes you. Dick, you are so full of it and full of yourself you make inane statements such as that. The anti-black conspiracy.....man oh man. I couldn't resist posting about that comment.

Just for you Dick.... [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] Lots of people of all races dodged the Vietnam draft. Why does it bother you that Ali did too? Even I (the racist by your definition) don't hold it against him. Geez, you really your panties wadded over nothing.

I opposed the Vietnam war, but if I had been drafted, I would have gone. Too many other young men of all colors had died so that I could enjoy living in America. I had a high draft number and was the sole surviving male in the family (my Dad and brother died in '68). Funny how we are told to look up the definition of racism, while we are all at the mercy of Dickie's 'interpretation' of the definition of draft dodger. Ali's dodging of the draft does not make me hate him. He broke the law and paid for it, albeit lightly. Sorry, had to post that. I'm truly done now Dick.

What can be more evil than that? If Isis and al Qaida join forces, we should all out attack Syria.

Been working since I was 13. No job was handed to me because I was white. Where is the privilege? That is totally a made up excuse to serve an agenda.

Everything is racist anymore. We are being invaded by illegal aliens. If we try to do something about it, we are racist. We have fought nearly every country worth mentioning protecting yours and my rights to live and call this our home. None of us would be here had we worried about offending the Germans and Japs. Those are/were races of people. Was that racist? Show the distinction/difference. Oh, that's right. Our communist president has apologized to the Japs. Wonder if he has visited the Arizona Memorial? Duh.....NO

Why do you think they take a cheek swab in the Olympics? Some countries have been known to cheat!

Just saw on the news a police chase pursuing a perp who stole a truck and boat from PN and drove thru Beaumont all the way to Sulphur LA. before his tires got flattened. He will be charged with attempted murder of a police officer among lots of other charges. Shouldn't we hold the truck manufacturer responsible for this wreckless behavior? Heck, throw the boat manufacturer in the mix too. That boat could have killed someone. Sorry, it makes as much sense as holding gun manufacturers responsible for someone going crazy with a gun.

This guy was told by code enforcement that the American flag he flew in his yard offended them....VOILA [Hidden Content]

I posed a question on another thread about Bruce Jenner as to how the men should feel that he beat in the decathlon, now that he is a "woman". Oops, I forgot, he wants to change back after whacking his peepee. I guess those guy's pride is safe again. How scewed up can we make this world in the name of discrimination?

Astros complete the sweep of the A's. Stros have now won 11 of 12? Just what I said was needed, but the Rangers keep winning so we are still 7 back. Need Mariners to take one tonight. It will all come down to whether or not the Stros can beat the Rangers. So far, the Rangers are way ahead. Go Stros!

The term was mulatto. Not sure where the offense came in but we now say mixed. Why isn't that offensive? i'm done with this thread. I'm bored.

Becuase the term for mixed black and white parents is considered offensive and no longer used. Everything is offensive nowadays. You are offending me with your unbelievably naive questions. Just what are you trying to prove or solve?.....Answer.....NOTHING!!!

Society made him black.....and I thought it was skin pigment. How silly of me. Vickie, the cop and college professor were nowhere near worldly, yet they were acknowledged. Just a thought.

Watched a little of this game. It was already a runaway. Ags looked good but WF looked terrible. When is the next Ag game and against whom?

Thanks. Tried to watch it online. Too much trouble.

Ags waiting on Vandy game to finish? How about a score?

I'm not baiting, although my questions are rhetorical. Obama wouldn't have time for Nicklaus, but he had time for a cop and a college professor. I'm done. I really did like AlI.

I wonder....if Jack Nicklaus (the greatest golfer ever) died tomorrow, would Obama release a statement commenting on how great a man he was? How about Dickie and Pam? Would you comment on how great he was, or talk about Tiger Woods? Well, I did for Ali, which makes me the bigger man. Ali did dodge the draft no matter his reasons, and you can't admit that? How childish. Oh yeah, I liked Ali.

Not hardly. The draft no longer exists. They didn't tell you?

Draft dodging could mean jail time.

Wow, someone calls Ali a draft dodger, which he was, he got off light with the stripping of his title and he couldn't box for a few years, and here we are making it a race issue. Thanks Dickie and Pam, this is all you are about which means you have nothing. How sad.

When and where can I watch the Ags. Think they are the team to beat.
