Re: walter, don't you think it's time we talked?

Never mentioned any specific race, sweetie. The racism is all in your mind.

What was said was true regardless of which ever race you are trying to
attribute it to.

There is no doubt that these lost youth are the product of a long history of
abuse in the home, by their presumed peers and in prison. You can't undo all
the brainwashing by simply putting a smiley face on and handing them a
bouquet of flowers. They lack respect for any authority figure and potential
threat. That is what you are.

Go ahead and name five "black" botanists, Iris.
