"Joe" wrote in message You have a loose understanding of the word racist then IMO. Taking pride in oneself or one's background including race... has nothing to do with being a racist. Not really... it seems you have only one interpretation of racist. Now one dictionary meaning is : 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. I believe that different races have their inherant traits and capacities.... generated by a lineage of circumstance, climate, conditioning and requirements. Inherent superiority of one race is limited to context and existing conditions. No one race can claim superiority in all aspects. All races must be afforded respect. It is not wrong for me to be proud of my racial origins. If you have no respect for other races you merely demean your own heritage! The fact that being a white male, resonably educated and able to understand the benifits that brings me .. in no way renders me incapable of comprehending limitations imposed on myself or those of other races... Oh.....coming from Scotty then your right, it was not a slur. Had Donal said that, then indeed it would have been a slur. Donal knows the Red dot means, she is not a virgin. Blue dot means virgin. Black dot means muslim. Yellow dot means slut. You're kidding me.... CM |
1000 years, I dunno, sounds a bit arbitrary.

Scotty,
At my age, I'm the one scoping out the best door to use if retreat is necessary. You know guys, I'm 78 yrs old and seen my share of brawls and you know what? I can't seem to remember any winners. Losers I remember by the scores The one that holds 1st place was it 1943 in San Jose, Calif. Long before Silicone Valley, I was 18 yrs old. Two buddies and I hitched a ride into town. A town of transit farm workers, mostly Mexicans. The young Americans were in uniforms. The three of use were looking over the place when a Young sailor comes out of a Bar with a pretty Latino girl on each arm and a smile from ear to ear. He had the world by the "nuts. He took no more than two steps when two Guys step up to him and Cold Cock him as pretty as you please. He couldn't get either arm up to defend himself. There was a girl holding each arm. Us young salty sailor carried our wallets slung over the top of our pants. The navy "Bell Bottom" pocket was to small. The three of us ran to help him but before we could reach him the girls and guys and his wallet were flying down the street. He came around OK a much wiser young man. In fact 4 wiser young sailors. That was the last time I ever carried a wallet on Liberty. A money clip was my money keeper after that. My sea story for today! Ole Thom http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomsPage |

I believe that on average, the black athlete is a superior specimen.
Notwithstanding the exceptions, the black dudes I've wrestled and played football with just seemed naturally stronger and quicker. Plenty of white guys were strong and fast, but they had to work harder for it, on average. Just a personal observation, but keep in mind that I was in the thick of it.

Bach's Air on the G String is one of my favorite pieces...I don't,however,
have appreciation for it with a boogie baseline beat....It's the same with others who have tried to improve on what's already perfect....why? Why take something that's beautiful and turn it into something else? Instead, write your own rather than changing what someone else has created....BTW, if you like that piece, you would probably really like barber's Adagio for Strings,.... "Donal" wrote in message ...

The 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert by Meade Lux Lewis is his best, he was
just warming up in 37. Lewis played a clairnet not the paino btw. I can get you a Victor 78 recording for 125 USD or you can download it at a Napster type site. And your full of **** Donal! Josef Hofmann was the greatest paino player of all times. Joe |

"katysails" wrote in message ... Bach's Air on the G String is one of my favorite pieces...I don't,however, have appreciation for it with a boogie baseline beat.... That's a very interesting comment. I wasn't aware that I had put a boogie beat on the bass. In fact, I've used the metronome to try to make sure that I play it correctly. I've really worked hard to get the bass correct. Does it really seem to have a boogie beat the whole way through? It's the same with others who have tried to improve on what's already perfect....why? Why take something that's beautiful and turn it into something else? I wasn't trying to improve on it. I really thought that I was playing it "note for note". I thought that my demonstration would show that Bach was the father of modern blues. Bach was one of the first composers to make use of the "chordal progression" which is the foundation upon which blues, jazz, and rock is based. Also, I've recently been learning a Bach piece that seems to be the inspiration for one of Pink Floyd's songs. Instead, write your own rather than changing what someone else has created.... Honestly, I didn't think that I had changed it. I played it to the best of my ability. BTW, if you like that piece, you would probably really like barber's Adagio for Strings,.... I do............
