Friends who Differ??
By Toni Watters
I am gonna be short and to the point today…
I know that we all have our difference, be they race, religion, background, drug uses…that is what makes us great, but where is the line?? Where does what someone believes and what they find funny and joke about and believe make it not possible for you to remain friends?? I have a very very eclectic group of friends, and we all have different thoughts and feelings on things that is what makes it great!! But at what point, does someone’s constant jokes and bigotry make it not possible for you to be friends with them. I guess I have to get into specifics but I have a friend, who is white, who always makes racial jokes and whenever he speaks to me he is constantly like “What up homie?” “What’s crackin??’ “What’s the dealio??” all kinds of “black” phrases or at least what he thinks are “black” phrases. I don’t speak that way and he has openly admitted he does not speak that way to anyone else “as I am his only black friend” (his words not mine)… Even though I have expressed that it bothers me it continues….. The latest joke mask he wore has just pushed me over the top. Wanna be a racist or whatever that is fine. Wanna think, feel, believe whatever you want about black people and tell me I am an exception…that’s fine, but do I have to stay friends with you??? Nope not at all!!!
Till next time….

You guys should really go here and read this article…it’s…um “interesting” to say the less.
My favorite quote is this – “is it that offensive of a notion to be asked to say the Pledge of Allegiance?”
I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it on my death bed…YES, it is offensive to ask someone [...]
Redneck Girls
Let Me Get A Big ‘Hell Yeah” From The Redneck Girls Like Me!
Some people look down on me
But I don’t give a rip
I stand barefooted in my own front yard
With a baby on my hip
Okay so it’s not a baby, it’s a toddler, but still…you get the point.
As much as I’d like to [...]
