To me people are people. I don't classify them by their skin color and
it has been proved that blood is blood regardless of the skin color of
the body the blood came from.

I wasn't being accusatory. I was just stating, historically, if you had
one drop of black blood, you were considered black. The remnants of Jim
Crow is still alive and well in this country.

There were the East Texas rednecks who dragged a black man to death
behind a truck. I was horrified to learn that it has been ten years
and the perp is still on death row. They haven't killed him yet. If
ever there was a poster boy for the death penalty, that guy is it. Jim
crow.
