this is getting to be ridiculous...


A Virginia Military Institute yearbook overseen by future state Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment in 1968 features a host of racist photos and slurs, including blackface.

In 1968. 50 years ago.

The media is denouncing a 72-year-old man for something he may have participated in when he was 22 years old.

What are the qualifications to move to Russia - I know how it worked for the socialist Lee Harvey Oswald and I do like the cold but can I go there and get one of their generous pensions?

like the writer, I had heard that amos n' andy was racists.

turns out it was very popular among whites and blacks. interesting the show had a number of 1st.

it was a rough equivalent to cosby show of the 90s in its rendition of family life at the time.

thanx to the idiocy of the NAACP, it went off the air and in the process made the black actors and screen writers unemployable.

I suspect that the show's success threatened their message and i'm sure jealousy and racism had alot to do with it. NAACP were run by white people at the time.

What does that have to do with wearing blackface 30 years ago, j, errr, FF?

I didn’t start these threads. Nor have I posted in them as frequently or passionately as you have. My position is that the snow is falling mighty hard on this ,,, on many sides.

Why not just go back to Israel? It isn’t cold there.
