WHO IN THE HELL LEFT THE GATE OPEN?

^5.  Its so pass my bedtime.  See ya on the flipside. 

Goodnite.

You are a smart women

True - I don't know the dyamics of BAF.  I do know the dynamics of R&R and I can assure you that racism in any way, shape or form is not tolerated.   I just don't like to see anyone from there get hurt - I would imagine that BAF operates in the same way.

Things do get lost on a screen as opposed to speaking to someone.  Have a good night!

Shontay, I have never been to the BAF forum, and quite frankly didn't know it existed. I came here by way of a link on R&R. I have to admit at first I was with Jen about the KKK comment, but then I read what you wrote, and it made good sense to me.

We on R&R have "inside" jokes, and massive probs with trolls, so that is how I took some of those comments, but I can see now that y'all have the same, and when you don't understand the "back ground" you can be lost and offended, when it is actually very innocent (not that any of us could really be accused of that.)

So thank you.

I think you are spot on.  It is about who is in the clique and who is not.  We have our cliques on R&R, just as all of the other forums do.  Believe me when I say that I do not think anything racial was intended by the "woodwork" or "get back to your side" comments. 

I am sorry that whole thing blew up.  Personally, I love it when the BAF regulars stop by for a visit.  It livens things up.  And #1 Mack Mama can tell a story like nobody's business.  She makes me laugh my ass off.

Are you coming back to Dallas any time soon?  I miss you!!!

I miss you, too, Tonya.  I'm not sure what transpired to make you leave R&R, but we all do what we need to in order to take care of ourselves.  I get that.

I graduate in 8 freakin' days, so maybe I can travel some in the near future.  I have a job offer on the table, but it is in Bryan/College Station ~ home of the A&M Aggies and the George Bush Library ~ UGH!!! 

It would be an 160 mile, two-way commute.  So, I have a lot to think about.  Unfortunately, it is the only sure thing at the moment.  I will let them know my decision by Friday.  I do have one other closer thing cooking, but it doesn't look so good right now.

Maybe after things settle down with that, we can head up your way.

I'd never been over there (I'm still new to OH) and after going there today, I won't make a round trip.  it made me sick... and yes, I made a comment on here.  I'm a sarcastic, wry smarta$$ - mom and dad couldn't break that habit.. doubt if it'll go now..

I wasn't brought up like that - but I do wish my parents wouldn't have fed me that everyone loves everyone crap (we had everyone of every race in our house - long as you were cool and knew how to have fun, parents didn't care)... would've prepared me for a VERY rude awakening later in life... Even so... as long as they don't mess with me and mine, I could really care less...

But since I've got an a$$hole, I've got an opinion too!

Jennifer..I am just speaking for myself but....to understand.... you would need to understand our history...unfortunately...there are still a lot of feelings that we deal with on a daily basis...KKK, civil rights movement, plantations...etc.,.. are a part of our history...just because we talk about it does not make us racists.  

Well, with the **** storm that is brewing on R&R and all the racial things that were brought up, and then to see Andrea being trashed here, unfortunately that is the only thing that I did think. 

I didn't come here to start trouble, I just wanted to see what was being said about my friends here.  And to see talk about the KKK and such is just wrong.  Have a good night.
