Just for the record, I live in a college town with many African
Americans and we say and hear "blacks" all the time without being
considered racist. Context is everything. Now to the point. I
sent the post quoted below last week and it helped for all of about
1 day. I know these are all pressing and troublesome issues but
many of us read and deal with them in other forums and our lives.
Can we get the hell back on topic here? Or isn't photography
important anymore? Has television made this all irrelevant?
Even though I agree with many of the political and philosophical
statements being bandied about here, I hate to see us taking
advantage of Andy's absence so blatantly. Let's have a photo
list again for a while.

are going with this, but when I was in Ok. there where several
white families who lived like that and worse, unfortunaly poverty
sees no skin color!
Then what about those who choose to live like that, or are taught
by their parents to live like that?
And just for the record I have encountered a lot more "African
Americans" who are racist then I have whites, and why is it that
I can say "whites" but I cant say "Blacks" with out being racist?

Herschel, you are a man after my own heart. Check out this
American home, where the eagle soars proudly in 2005. It is
located in Bainbridge, Georgia, the very southwest corner of the
state 10 miles from the Alabama line and 5 miles from Florida.

to tell you the skin color of the inhabitant?
