By cruel racist remarks, are you referring to this convo from yesterday?

NYDiva:Technically I suppose my Mom looks " Sicilian" which yes is a version of "black " ... curly dark hair non cracking skin a beautiful body and affectionate and caring towards her husband and one kid . My Mom is just wonderful and her leg is better thank God . She's entering rehab for a month and then coming home.

Sheila:Don't tell that to Sicilians! They are NOT black nor consider themselves black.
I have dark curly hair and at the moment I am very tanned, but I would never consider myself black nor do I pretend to know what black people go through when they are are discriminated against.
Another point: East European is not Sicilian. You had said your mom is Hungarian, East European, just trying to keep my geography straight.

If yes, I was contacted by moderator who asked for my picture to prove that I do have curly black hair and tan. I provided the pic and she agreed with me that neither I, nor any Sicilian (although I'm not Sicilian) should opine about discrimination or black people. Did they contact you to ask for pics too?

One of my neighbors had a really dark tan and was on vacation in the southern part of US. They needed a motel for the night and every place they stopped said there were no rooms available.

She was at the desk at a motel and after they told her there were no rooms, she removed her sunglasses and wiped at the sweat on her face. She said that she was so tired from trying to find a room.

The lady at the desk looked her in amazement and said, "Oh my God, you have blue eyes, I thought you were black. We have a room for you".

I hope she turned and walked out. That's horrible. I'd sleep in my car before I gave that type of business my $.

People who did not grow up before there were anti-discrimination laws do not realize how bad things were. That was considered normal back then. Things much worse than that happened every day. Especially in the south a lot of those actions and attitudes continued into the 1990's and still today. Mainly uneducated and poor people who need to feel important by looking down on people who are not white.

She reported you to the moderators for being a racist? What the hell. Shame on the moderator for asking for a picture for you to prove what type of hair and skin you have. I just can't believe time after time they allow her to constantly come back with a new username. I think she's had about 7 of them. At least most of us who have been around for a long time know who it is.

She has been here a lot longer than 7 name changes. I think she has been here since the sight was started. She has been kicked off more than once. We were just waiting to see how long it took for her to go bat **** crazy again. She's doing better than normal it has taken a whole week this time.

I'm pretty sure the mod comment was sarcasm.

Good morning all. It's new tailgate day! The old tailgate on my truck is pretty much shot, and after failing to find someone to fix it, I just ordered a new one. Maybe JB can design lawn art using the old one.

Food yesterday totaled 16.99 ounces of ham. The cat had 1.38 ounces.

QOTD: I haven't used a cookbook in forever. Generally I learn a recipe from various sources, and if I like it I don't feel the need to try alternatives. And my recipes were really just for desserts and such.

I do have fond memories of my mom's cookbook when I was a kid. Whenever I catch a glimpse of its distinctive cover, often on tv or a movie, I get nostalgic.

Fun idea but I aspire to be the yard that does not have old car parts littered across it.

Does Innie have his own MFP account?
