A "must read" old book on Prejudice | Eastern NC Now

I have been reminded of an old book from the 1950's when prejudice and hate were in full spring in the United States. I read his theories of personality at Emory in my Psychology Major studies.

I have been more than tired / more than resting and not making comments today. I end my day with this catch up on important posts.

I view the proof that the Bible is accurate because it is the only book which tells its story showing BOTH the good and bad in it's characters of the Old Testament. People can change history to fit their outlook and the winners always write the history---true or not.

The beauty of America is that it is a "work in progress." We have ideals which we have done better --- and sometimes not so good. The time of slavery was bad in some ways and not so bad in others. I share a quick story of NYC and the Staton Island Ferry parking lot.

We camped there overnight under a light. The next morning I took the do out and met a man awaking from his sleep on the bench. He was black and asked me where we were from. I answered, "Loris, SC." He startled me with his recognition and the fact he was from Mullins, just up the road.

His summation was, "I ain't gonna crop no mo 'bacco." My thought was, "Your cousins may live in a shack back in the South, but they, at least, have a roof over their heads and food to eat!" Once freed, the slaves were not even welcome to follow Yankee soldiers and share any food from them.

It is bad to get freedom, but no respect. I call it "pseudo-freedom."

GS: Glad you are back. Bobby Tony ran the Flag up and down the pole. NASCAR is mentioned. All the monuments in Metro are being replace with those of Civil Rights leaders. That will solve all problems.

Sad to say, prejudice and hate will always be with us --- keeping them at bay is the challenge to God's created humans . . .

Perfect one Ted ... minimalist logic reigns supreme.

Many of my family, on all sides, fought for the CSA cause. Most did not own slaves ... just believed that they were defending their property and their rights.

That's all. They were warriors, and fought for their nation.

Back to prejudice. Taking down the CSA flag should solve all the problems. Maybe we can capture the Isis Flag and the war will stop.

Preach about God / preach about 20 minutes means a 2 page treatise is a good sermon you can read in about 10, it you can read---that is!
