I've had only one experience with the word honky. LOL!! Back in the day it was a pejorative for white people. When I was in Louisville, Kentucky once, I made a blunder while driving which irritated a Black guy who yelled honky at me. LOL!! no sooner did i get out of that mess and i started to slow down to look for the address of a friend i was gong to visit. A guy behind me blasts his horn and yells G-- D-mn Yankee. He saw my Wisconsin plates. LOL. Interesting to be called a honky and yankee only ten minutes apart.
Maestro, TheOne is up to mischief. You've got a great disposition, meanwhile. That driving story was hilarious.
He knows GM's point of view alongside the neo-liberal framing. That could be light-weight for some, but pushing the envelop for others.
Now is that high brow or satire, TheOne?
I think people should be able to date or marry whomever they'd like. But I think Black boyz should have the critical analysis to measure where we are culturally i.e. sports stars, etc.
In my family, we have two distant cousins, identical twins, who both married white girls. Now, they're forward-thinking young men...they're turning some of our land down there, which they bought from a family member, into a ranch. They have prize cows, using the latest scientific advancements, etc. One graduated with a veterinary degree, alongside his wife. And the other is college educated, too.
But that prized land, which our common gggrandfather left to his children may well end up in outside hands if there wasn't some king of pre-nup signed, which I'm sure wasn't.
Just saying. Our g-g-grand dad is rolling over in his grave. Our g-g-grand dad's picture.

Les, your great, great grand dad looks like a real sharp man. The apple did not far fall from the tree. Now we know where you got your good looks.
I got a chuckle when i read your remarks on your distant twin relatives. The part about drawing up a pre-nup to prevent Black property getting in the wrong hands really got my attention.
If they ever do draw up a pre-nup, i would love to be a fly on the wall when they present it to their white wives. I don’t think it would go over to well. The twins, however, sound like fine, competent men who are running a successful farm. Surely they know better than to offend their wives with a racial pre-nup. LOL!! I am not an expert on pre nup and the law, but would that even be deemed legal being that it racially excludes whites from access to the family wealth? It would be interesting hearing a decision on that.
And would the nonsense stop there? Wouldn’t they also have to make up a will in later years to prevent the wives from getting the property? And what about the mixed race children? What if one looks completely white. How do you keep the property from him/her? LOL!! Sounds like the family would go through living hell dealing with that.
I’ve been astounded by the negative attention mixed marriages gets on your board. I’m all for them. Surely you are aware of the children mixed marriages produces. Study after study indicates that race mixing only strengthens the gene pool. Mixed race children for the most part are taller, smarter, healthier, can handle temperature change better, adjust easier to different environments and have a wider range of attributes they can inherit.
Furthermore, I would like to elaborate on this myth that Blacks suffer economically from interracial marriage. Example after example are given of many millionaire Black athletes hurting their community by marrying White females (snow bunnies) who take away their wealth. How about the other side of the story and mention the thousands and thousands of working class white males that fall in love with poor and working class minorities and marry and have wonderful loving marriages and raise mixed children. I could give you countless examples of friends who’ve married Black and Brown women
My best friend married a Mexican woman who came to Wisconsin to pick cherries. My buddy, a very successful real estate appraiser married her 45 -years-ago. I was best man. She benefited greatly from this, as did her family who got support from my buddy. He has been wonderful to them.
Same with my friend who is a butcher. He fell in love with an inner city Black lady who shopped at his little store. They, too, have had a long happy marriage. The mother of his Black wife lived with them for over twenty years. She was a joy to visit. Here in my condo community, there are three Black women that are married to reasonably successful white men. They, too, have benefitted. However, one of the Black women owned her own company and had three times the income the white husband had. LOL!!!
Yeah, the headlines are all about the flashy athletes and actors marrying white women, and those who are upset with mixed marriages are quick to point them out. But the beauty of integration, or as i label it, class solidarity, we all benefit. We all are in this together. All power to the people, and snow bunnies too!!! Now shoot me… Bang!!!!

Well, Maestro, I believe that if a man and woman meet each other and they realize they have a fruitful connection, more power to them.
I've dated white women before I married my wife. But they understood my analysis of the ongoing institutional framework and would have understood my analysis of the family land question in Mississippi, as a heuristic, here.
Ha, ha, just watching the quarterback for South Carolina, on TV, as he's walking off the field. I thought he was a white kid, during the game.
From my perspective, mixed Black/white kids are quite good looking, in many cases. And yes, that distinct blending of genes is probably very healthy for individuals.
I simply hate to see guys who seek out white girls, just because the girl is white. These are guys who are generally not socially conscious (or should I say not woke). Now, for those who are woke and things just happen. More power to them.

Well said, all except for the part that the future white wife will go along with a pre-nup or a will that excludes her or any of her potential white looking offspring from owning the land on which they raised a family. Not very healthy guidelines for a nuclear family. LOL!!! How wold you break this to her:! "Hey honey, BTW, you are white and you and your white family will never own any of this land." Ouch!!!

It's not difficult, Maestro. They have to simply tell the woman before the nuptials: "See that biblical movie with the white Rameses the Great and the Hebrews? Well, it's the root of racism, in the Western world. And until we clear up the fallacies, we have to be pragmatic in things like my grandpa's post-slavery land holdings. He bought the land after the slaveowner fell on hard times following the Civil War... ."
Now, if they need to put the land in a family trust, that might be a solution.
Otherwise, you have to tell the young man to wise up -- if she doesn't get it, she's not the one. Simply tell her. Good...bye.

And what do you tell the children of the white mom (snow bunny) that might turn out to appear white? “Sorry, no property for you!!!, only little Tommy who appears more Black gets some. LOL!!!

I'd be remiss if i did not say how proud you must be of your GG grandpa, Les. I can only imagine the uphill fight the man must have gone through. I beam with pride when i think of my great grand parents coming here from Poland to Winona, Minnesota. It was tough on them, but they came to a Polish community with support. Mississippi was a whole different ballgame. I spent the summer of 66 there. It was not a nice place.

I am not an expert on pre nup and the law, but would that even be deemed legal being that it racially excludes whites from access to the family wealth? It would be interesting hearing a decision on that.
And would the nonsense stop there? Wouldn’t they also have to make up a will in later years to prevent the wives from getting the property? And what about the mixed race children? What if one looks completely white. How do you keep the property from him/her? LOL!! Sounds like the family would go through living hell dealing with that.
I’ve been astounded by the negative attention mixed marriages gets on your board. I’m all for them. Surely you are aware of the children mixed marriages produces. Study after study indicates that race mixing only strengthens the gene pool. Mixed race children for the most part are taller, smarter, healthier, can handle temperature change better, adjust easier to different environments and have a wider range of attributes they can inherit.
Furthermore, I would like to elaborate on this myth that Blacks suffer economically from interracial marriage. Example after example are given of many millionaire Black athletes hurting their community by marrying White females (snow bunnies) who take away their wealth. How about the other side of the story and mention the thousands and thousands of working class white males that fall in love with poor and working class minorities and marry and have wonderful loving marriages and raise mixed children. I could give you countless examples of friends who’ve married Black and Brown women
My best friend married a Mexican woman who came to Wisconsin to pick cherries. My buddy, a very successful real estate appraiser married her 45 -years-ago. I was best man. She benefited greatly from this, as did her family who got support from my buddy. He has been wonderful to them.
Same with my friend who is a butcher. He fell in love with an inner city Black lady who shopped at his little store. They, too, have had a long happy marriage. The mother of his Black wife lived with them for over twenty years. She was a joy to visit. Here in my condo community, there are three Black women that are married to reasonably successful white men. They, too, have benefitted. However, one of the Black women owned her own company and had three times the income the white husband had. LOL!!!
Yeah, the headlines are all about the flashy athletes and actors marrying white women, and those who are upset with mixed marriages are quick to point them out. But the beauty of integration, or as i label it, class solidarity, we all benefit. We all are in this together. All power to the people, and snow bunnies too!!! Now shoot me… Bang!!!!

Maestro, TheOne is up to mischief. You've got a great disposition, meanwhile. That driving story was hilarious.
He knows GM's point of view alongside the neo-liberal framing. That could be light-weight for some, but pushing the envelop for others.
Now is that high brow or satire, TheOne?
I think people should be able to date or marry whomever they'd like. But I think Black boyz should have the critical analysis to measure where we are culturally i.e. sports stars, etc.
In my family, we have two distant cousins, identical twins, who both married white girls. Now, they're forward-thinking young men...they're turning some of our land down there, which they bought from a family member, into a ranch. They have prize cows, using the latest scientific advancements, etc. One graduated with a veterinary degree, alongside his wife. And the other is college educated, too.
But that prized land, which our common gggrandfather left to his children may well end up in outside hands if there wasn't some king of pre-nup signed, which I'm sure wasn't.
Just saying. Our g-g-grand dad is rolling over in his grave. Our g-g-grand dad's picture.

Hey, Maestro,.. I live in "Winona", Minnesota, Too,..WTH? LOL!!
I think when your great grand parents decided to move from Poland to Winona, Minnesota, they had no clue that I "Mr Kris" had already settled in my beloved Winona way before they arrived.
Anyway, you can check on the article below to see what I did to a four-year-old African American boy in Winona. The boys name is Damajae Winn(photo below) and here is what happened. I was flying a confederate flag in the back of my pick-up truck in Winona, when all of a sudden I ran over that Black boy,.. but I swear I didn't hit that boy on purpose, it was just an accident. Goshhh!!!
What a horrible story. Glad to see the little guy survived it. I never heard about this incident, and I read the daily paper there periodically.
