This sort of thing actually happened in Ventura County many years ago. The local newspaper would put up a ten most wanted list with photos once a week. The bad guy couldn’t read English. One of his “friends” saw him in the paper and showed it to him. He went to the paper to find out what the picture was about.

Look closely at the precinct artwork in the title frame. You will see a tiny “Darryl Ramsey” across the street contemplating his surrender.

Night Gaunt: Black was considered high mana by many of the plains tribes. York saved the Lewis and Clark expedition several times. Many tribes practiced slavery but never considered slaves as less than human. Because of their support of the Confederacy, Cherokee were “forced” to admit their slaves to the tribe as punishment. Cherokee thought it hilarious because they were always part of the tribe, just at a very low status. Only in very recent times have they adopted white ideas on the subject.

@AshburnStadium, unless you spoke to every single black person in the States, “I heard it from black people themselves” is really not valid support. Additionally, what was the purpose of saying “Chuck was redbone too” , it was a complete non sequitur. It pertained to nothing in the article or any of the comments. Did you want to use a new word that you just discovered? Whites in America like to reference “their black friends” as if that would absolve them from racism. It is the same reasoning when whites said that they treated their slaves like family. Because we all have had the opportunity to own and sell our own family members, correct?You need to do more work such as learning about anti-racism and reading and studying black history. An overwhelming number of whites insist on reminding black and brown that they are black and brown. So instead of accessing your stereotypes try treating us like other human beings. You don’t need to spout out vernacular as if you had Tourettes. If you had ever read any black history text you would know that American history in its denial of black achievements, other that the ones they are more comfortable with, reads as if Hitler would have written Jewish history. Try Tim Wise, he is a white anti-racism author, because most people who grow up racist which does not limit itself to the KKK, rarely if ever listen to those who are the recipients of their racism. If you listen to other whites define what is and what is not racism, you might as well listen to the pedophile define what is child molestation.

As Darryl once said on “Baby Blues” (after gifting his wife with a deadbolt for the bathroom door) : There’s romantic, and then there’s PRACTICAL romantic. Ruiz will love it!
