I try not to be racist ....but there are times when everyday life tends to get you to lean in that direction...regardless of race....i was born in Kenya..both my parents are white from the USA working professionally in Africa..i am more "African" by birth than any of the blacks i know here in the states..i am truely an "Afro American"..yet to all of color here i am still a 'honkey white boy' in regards to my outward apperance.....kinda funny how humans catagorize life into black-white...when there are so many shades of gray ----we should all be proud of our respective race & respect the race of others......its the individuals that mess things up

funny - I kind of look at it from the opposite direction.

I don't think any race deserves to be celebrated or respected.
Only on an individual level would I consider respecting someone, regardless
of their race, or religion, economic status, nationality, or whatever.
Quality of the individual character - thats the only thing that SHOULD matter.

But then again, I'm not a fan of the human race as a whole

[tw001_tw]

And by the way, over at Fender talk we can't even bring up politics -
And over here, the moderator brings up race!

Just goes to show, amp people are more thoughtful and laid back
then those guitar / Fender type people

[firedude]

Everything the Richards said is correct..........

Hello T-dub, yep, all is well down here. The weather's finally cooling down a bit. Well it's all relative, high temps in the mid to high 80's. That's early fall for us. :lol:
Did you family in Houston make out OK?

[tw001_tw]

Yikes.. no... not at all. They lost everything. When we talked they were
waiting around for their insurance check deciding if they were going
to rebuild or move..... I think I'd move.

the weather is cooling off very nice for us up here (FINALLY), its even nicely
chilly in the evenings

[surfdaddy]
