Flier for whites only pastors' conference has residents upset

What you said was "ole Mis". Do you think that's a term for the state?

"Ole Miss" is the most expensive college in this state. Perhaps you should do some research before spouting your inaccurate opinion as fact.

Not reading any further than this line because it's evident you messed up with the "ole Mis" comment.

Dufas, Google "Ole Mis" and see if it is exclusive to a college..... what is odd (or telling) is the way you dodged all the substance of my.

I put out an honest question.

How much better off are Blacks who live in areas which never had slavery or Jim Crow?

If there is no meaningful difference why do we keep blaming Jim Crow for the reality of today?

Again, I'll read the first sentence and can't get any further because I'm laughing too hard.

Here, let me teach you something, I seem to have to do this a lot.

If you´ve ever wondered how The University of Mississippi got its nickname Ole Miss, well, wonder no more! In 1896 a student yearbook was published for the first time. As a way to find a name for the book, a contest was held to solicit suggestions from the student body. Elma Meek, a student at the time, submitted the winning entry of Ole Miss. This not only named the yearbook, it also became the name that The University of Mississippi is now affectionately known as.

:rofl:

Ole Miss did horribly last season. I hate Ole Miss. Never heard anyone refer to Mississippi as "ole Mis", what a horrible mistake. Clearly he isn't a southerner

The thing with you is this. I don't think you have ever had one reply or retort that had anything to do with the subject.. I really don't think you are ready for a forum in which you have to think and formulate substantive positions and opinions . Every reply I have ever seen you make is some lame flame about grammar or silly duck of the issue. If he refereed to Ole Miss as Ole Ms or as Mi crooka letter crooka letter p.....is not the point.

Basically every post you have made is ..OH Yeah but what about you!!!

I quite clearly made the point that "Ole Miss" is not the state, it's a college. You really should try reading instead of trying to insult me. It just makes you look butt hurt.

YOu are avoiding the question and for what... to pretend the South does not use the term "ole" or Old all over the place,

Everything from whisky to Ole Virginy... to the Grand Ole Opry.

I simply borrowed that terminology .. really wasn't anything more than that.

But apparently you feel a lot more secure debating that important terminology than you do the more meaningful question.

Are Libs using the ole soft bigotry of "low expectations".. to make excuses for their failed social policies which may have in fact retarded Black progress in so many ways?

But feel free to go on talking about the more important matter of the use or misuse of the term "ole" ....when paired next to Mississippi.

Yes you did and that had nothing to do with the subject matter.

So can you explain why blacks in places that had no slavery or Jim Crow perform just as badly and under achieve just as badly as blacks in places like Ga and Mis.

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Slavery went away long before bigotry and outright second class citizenry. There is your explanation.

Do whites in the north do better in school than whites in the south?

But you must remember that everything was made right instantaneously when Civil Rights were enacted. With the stroke of a pen blacks, Jews and others were all caught up just like that... Of course, remember to click your heels three times as you repeat that...

Yes it does. He said to compare scores from "Ole Mis". Do you have a problem with your memory?

In my post earlier it quite clearly states that Mississippi has the worst schooling of the whole nation. I already answered the question. :rolleyes:

Again, read the first line. Couldn't stop laughing. Nice attempt at a cover up.

As I just stated, I already answered your question but you didn't bother to read it. :rolleyes:

Wait a minute, are you expecting me to believe all these people from the North sent their sons to die to end slavery. They provided freedom riders and volunteer educators and voted for all these laws to ensure equality and you cant point to one state or major city as an example of how people flourish when treated equally and with respect.....that people are willing to die for Blacks but even a hundred years later they want to keep them down?

When we consider everywhere in the north and on out west ... not one shinning example we can build upon?

Even all these decades later it's still bigotry bigotry bigotry?

Okay, lets say I buy that..... you never addressed the fundamental question.: why are Blacks in areas which have a history with the most bigotry and oppression no worse off in these standardized tests?

..if it is the bigotry which is at the root of it?

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Danno you are a man who would have argued Blacks can't be fighter pilots, and were it to have been in your power there would have been no Tuskeegee Airmen. Hundreds of bomber crews and thousands of their loved ones would love to argue with you regarding your theory Blacks are inferior.

Achievement and ability are not always one and the same. The root of bigotry are people who think like you.

They aren't. I have told you this about 50 times now. Mississippi has the worst ranked education system in the country. Stop spouting your biased opinion as fact.

Exactly.
