It's not the same. "Black boy" would be considered offensive - "White boy" usually is not. And no.........don't ask me why.

Meanwhile, can we all just get along? Have a nice Memorial Day weekend to all of you.
I never report people because I feel I can fight my own battles. If someone is blatantly offensive most of the time, you moderators will catch it anyway.

By the way, since I work every single day, I didn't even know this was Memorial Day weekend. You folks in the states have a good safe holiday. Meanwhile, I'll try to stay clear of the mortar rounds.

I will pray for you, PN. Stay safe, and if any of the military are having a BBQ somewhere, enjoy it while you can, pal.

It depends on who is saying it and to whom I had a friend once whose father was black and whose mother was half Irish and half Cherokee. 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.

That is true. What can you have besides grub and drink, if no beer is served?

Remember the old Jerry Lewis-Dean Martin movie, titled "At War With The Army"?

One of the songs in that movie was "The Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans". That is an old movie, made in 1950.
