[quote]Damn, girl, that's impressive[/quote]
Meh. It was on the iPhone kindle app. Each page is 15-17 lines. :lol:
But I finished it last night. Awesome book. Some parts were honestly hard to read. It's hard for me to fathom that people can be so evil, but I guess I'm naive. Thanks ...

I'm on page 234 on kindle. This is crazy. I need to sleep. :lol:
I should have waited until tomorrow.
My roommate is reading it now too. :cheers:...

Sorry....
I just think that this isn't the thread for the Muslim/Jew hatred. There is enough of this.
Our country has it's own history of racial hatred. :cheers:...

This isn't the thread for this. If you want to know why I dislike radical Muslims...start a thread.
I'll even tell you why I despise radical feminists.
I hate radical, murdering Muslims with a passion. As I do the Mexican Drug Cartels, etc.
Start a thread...leggo. :cheers:

Understood. :cheers:
I just think that this isn't the thread for it. There are plenty of other threads to post that in. It just seems that he spews hatred in every thread.
I am reading this book, and honestly, I am embarrassed. I have stated my upbringing before. And I lived in MS fo...

I'll look it up. :cheers:
I was born in '79. I wasn't old enough to remember the hatred. Either that or I was never taught it. I'm very thankful for that.
My best friend in high school was a black guy. We were really best friends. My parents loved him. When I got in a wreck and almos...

That is not relevant to this thread.
And RA'd again. There should be a "for being racist and derailing a thread" option.
You're fricking with the wrong admin. :lol:...

You're the one that needs to go away. You're racist. And it's disgusting.
And I RA'd you. In an admins thread. ...

This has not a damn thing to do with Muslims and Jews. Get that shite out of here. :spank:
It's about a time in our country that, as someone who wasn't taught or believes in racism (regardless of what I've been called regarding my stance on illegal immigration), is absolutely ashamed of.

I'm finished with the first chapter.
It's worth it. I would put it to the top of the list. :cheers:
As someone who wasn't alive during this time, I can't imagine what it was like. I've only heard my parents stories.
Neither side of my family were slave owners and I was never taught o...

I'm to the point where "the klansmen received sentences of up to 10 years" and I'm already pissed off.
10 years? That's it?

I'm reading it now. Like I said, my dad said that it was bad. My mom was scared to go to school in the 70's.
Better than being called a bitch and an arse hole in the other thread.
Thanks for the link. I enjoy reading stories like this. :cheers:...

I was dogged last night for not producing hard data. I produced hard data, then it became "those dirty filthy Mexicans".
I've been called a bitch and an a-hole on this page for questioning if someone actually read the links I posted?
But frick women, right? We shouldn't be allowed to vote...

My dad was in high school when desegregation (or integration) started. He doesn't talk about it much, but he says that it was bad. I can't imagine living during those times. Truly a pathetic time in our country's history. ...
