I was going to say, Brice just asked a question but after some careful thought I realized it was a little out of line. But he recovered and I don’t find him to be racist at all. I had to really do some soul searching because I am one of those white people who is way out of touch with how the behavior of too many white people is negatively impacting the lives of black people in particular. Honestly, I think all minorities have a hard run but black people have it the worse and have had it for the longest period of time.

I do not agree with Ashley who seems to think black people making to much of their very real plight. The black man who has to adjust his behavior every single day seemed used to remaining calm but that doesn’t make what he goes through all right. I don’t leave my house every day thinking about how I have to adjust my behavior to please another race of people that is oppressing me. It is not all right that he has to do that. It’s not all right that the other black male had the police called on him because some white person didn’t like that he was moving into the building. If you don’t want to be a part of our society perhaps racist people should find a hole to climb into and disappear. The world is better off without such people. The female pulled over by police made me cry as she recalled how this made her feel. I have never felt like that in my life. The woman who lives in the upscale white neighborhood should never feel like her dollar is not valued just as much as the dollar of her white counter parts. The white women in Starbucks was so upset by what she was seeing YES she joined the black women taping the incident. It doesn’t matter what moved her it matters that she was moved and in so being she moved other white people to speak up. Racism is never all right and has gone down-played and ignored long enough

Wooo, well I am sacking my head because my husband always says Ashley is racist and he keeps his distance from her. I know I’ve tired to befriend her but she keeps me at arms distance. I just attributed it to all that she’s been through. I’ve always just given her the benefit of the doubt.

Brice is not racist he’s just…Brice LOL. But Ashley, well Caleb wasn’t comfortable with some of her behaviors and that’s a fact. Now it looks like poor Josh is a little uncomfortable as well.

I do not see myself as racist ladies and Tina I thought we were friends. I don’t think I challenge Mason’s position, I see Mark as our head or leader so I pay more attention when he speaks. I do come from a racist family but I think I can separate my views from the views of my parents. I didn’t mean to minimize the suffering of those on the MSNBC special on race I just thought in light of everything that was discussed there are far worse things happening to other groups.

Okay, most of you got upset with Brice but I’ll say this Ashley is who upsets and often offends me. She stubbornly holds on to that old southern bigotry that is shared by her father and stepmother and nurtured. This was a problem for Caleb and will be a problem for Josh. You see, people are drawn to those they feel a connection with. Serial killers don’t pick their victims randomly, oh no, the seek out women or even men sometimes, they see a kindling spirit with, a connection in some way, a shared view sometimes a small connection but a way to relate. You see they don’t always like what they see in themselves and to kill some of it in someone else helps them, in their sick mind, kill what they don’t like about themselves. The catch is, killing is habitual and they find it easier and easier to do and the primary reason for doing it is lost. Caleb and Josh see the sweet Ashley, the representative that is good at PR, good at victim, good at caring, good at being beautiful and innocent. Men like Erica’s father and Benson see the ugly in her. The racism, the selfishness. This is the side of her I don’t like. It’s time you showed us your core self, Ashley. I’ll give you that opportunity but I will remain silent no longer. You are very racist and it will always be a problem for you and those who deal with you in any intimate way, as it is a problem for me. I know how you feel about me. It hasn’t gone unnoticed. I just chose to ignore it. But at this juncture, I’m not in the ignoring mode anymore.

Rod…my friend, my bro, your bp is an ASSHOLE!!! Never did care for him. I say bp because you have an AP that loved you like his own.

Yeah…I agree Sis. It’s crystal clear actually and Benson said that when I visited him. He said we all thought Ashley was so sweet and innocent but she was as rotten inside as him. He accused her of many things I won’t mention here but Josh is stronger and Caleb’s father want’s his sons children because of this darkness he senses in Ashley as well. Now that you have spoken up sis it’s time to address these issues Ashley. I don’t want any more lives disrupted ignoring it and pretending it’s not as serious as it clearly is.
