A "must read" old book on Prejudice | Eastern North Carolina 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.

    It is more appropriate to read today in light of the recent events of police brutality / Charleston murders / SC refusing to lower their Confederate flag which flies over their Capital building.

    That symbolizes to me the residual hate in that state and its conservatism:

    It is a psychological analysis of prejudice and its origin in ALL societies and religion. Because such is part of human nature, those who wish to look in the mirror of self-examination would profit much from the read . . .

    I need make no further comment than: IT IS MORE THAN ACCURATE!

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.

On my last visit with Buddy, he told me of how California growers got 200 cutting from him, then paid no attention to the instructions that you don't fertilize them of they die. 2 are not still alive. Our old winemaker knows his stuff!

Maybe when they want their real website done.

Then, I could justify all the camera work, I would need to do; kill two birds with one stone.

Buddy said there is some kind of natural clay liner under the property that causes the Muscadines to be tastier. I sent you some photos of Buddy now lost. Send me the photos and I will write the article if you don't.
Back to prejudice. I like your short articles.

I wish you would do a story on Bennett Wine, Stan. It is the best I have ever had. Buddy is trying to now got international with Chinese interest. If he had moe financial backing, Beaufort County could be more than famous . . .
