When his parents divorced he bounced back and forth between the two households a lot.
When they lived in Oklahoma he was the halfbreed.
When they lived in Alabama he was a nigger.
When with his father's family in Chicago he was the white boy.
They were all intended as an insult. Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
