Thoughts on Racism and Yo Mama Jokes!!!! Piggy Back Blog Here It Comes.............. I inadvertly dated a Member of the Klan that I met when I was working for the West Virginia DOT. He asked me out on a date and I said, "Sure!" We met and he asked, "Where do you want to go?" My answer; "I want to go to Monticello where Thomas Jefferson Slept with Sally Hemmings." "Thomas Jefferson NEVER slept with a Darkie!" he replied. "Gee not only did Thomas Jefferson sleep with a Darkie but he slept with his late wife's half sister because Thomas Jefferson's father-in-law ALSO slept with a Darkie," I advised him. Next we were debating religion and the three crosses along the road. "The only thing the KKK ever got right is burning those darn instruments of torture!" I told him. "We don't burn those crosses. We LIGHT Them!" he informed me. Next I learned the History of the KKK. It's really a Fraternity of WHITE Law Abidding Christian Men and the White Sheets represent the Ghost of Confederate Soldiers. The KKK was just a reaction to Civil War Reconstruction.... Yada Yada Yada! We never did go to Monticello but I did order the Most Expensive Items on the Dinner Menu. Surf and Turf Steak. Lobster, New York Cheese Cake with Expresso. Yum! We were heading home and he commented, "You are a very pleasant person. You'll make a good wife after you get rid of some of your strange ideas." He changed his mind after I told him my Mother's Maiden Name. My youngest always had a group of friends. Several of his friends including a bi-racial girl and her brother were in the back yard roasting hotdogs on a bonfire. They were just part of the group.  The Drunken Neighbor started yelling at my about keeping company with a little nigger girl. The Teenagers started telling "Yo Mama Jokes!" The Drunken Neighbor called the Law. The Cop lectured the teenagers about playing the radio too loud. He also told the Drunken Neighbor that if he tried to pull that kind of stunt in Los Angeles that he would be contending with more than just a few Yo Mama Jokes. A week later, several police cars arrived at the Drunken Neighbor's House. He was carted off to Southern Regional Jail for Domestic Violence. Jail is a good place for that Bigot.  Abracadabra  |

LOL I had a huge fight with my ex-husband about Thomas Jefferson. He got insulted because I told him Jefferson had a black woman as a lover. He refused to believe it and to this date will not admit it. Needless, to say, my ex considers himself a very intelligent non racist person. Thanks for sharing!

There is nothing to disagree about with this Blog. I am only writing about my expereinces which just HAPPENED to take place in West Virginia. I heard alot of Racist Attitudes from Family Members when I was youngster. The Civil Rights Movement was happening by the time I reached High School. Folks like my family members (who are now in the SpiritWorld), the Drunken Neigbor, Jerimiah Wright and other folks with those kind of attitudes are Dinosaurs. My teenage son and his friends responded with Yo Mama Jokes to the Drunken Bigot when he insulted the young girl. Certainly in the 50's - when The Drunk was a teenager, the kids would not have mingled like they do now. Abracadabra

Good blog..thanks for sharing.....where I grew up racism was nonexistent I learned long ago Ignorance is not color,race, faith or gender specific ......but it sure does exist....even today along with arrogance attached to it!! Some believe in destiny, some believe in fate. I believe that happiness is something we create

The world has changed much for the better, although sadly enough racism will always exist in some form or another..... Till the end of time. But, hopefully in future generations our children can all grow up in equality, and all acts of racism will be a punishable crime. But, knowing this world...don't count on it !! Like you can take da girl outta Pittsburgh, but don't even try to take Pittsburgh outta da girl
