I have. Have you ever been lined up on the street when you were 13 because you were riding in a car full of black males and one white guy and then the cop pulls the white guy aside and asks, "are you ok?" Have you ever had your significant other asked if she was ok and if she wanted the police to 'take him with us' just because you were black and she was not? I didn't think so. Everyone one of those things happened to me, and I'm a nerdy black dude. <BR/><BR/>JoshJosh Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00757919675054009112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283241065290171543.post-79279671667886880922008-05-08T13:01:00.000-04:002008-05-08T13:01:00.000-04:00hi josh - link is not working. gotta admit i'm in...hi josh - link is not working. gotta admit i'm intrigued by anything that is at a website called 'seamonkey'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283241065290171543.post-56819262646911501572008-05-08T12:59:00.000-04:002008-05-08T12:59:00.000-04:00I love the old " I agree with you BUT" hahaJosie, ...I love the old " I agree with you BUT" haha<BR/><BR/>Josie, tell em to all shut up...men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283241065290171543.post-42419165871260507812008-05-08T11:08:00.000-04:002008-05-08T11:08:00.000-04:00Josie, I agree with you, but unless you're a white...Josie, <BR/>I agree with you, but unless you're a white male like Harris, you have it hard in the US of A, not as hard as if we where in some other country with our foots cut off and women are circumsized, but it's still rough.
