Actually I live in Charlottesville, the city Jefferson designed, built, lived in the majority of his life. My front door is a ten minute walk to Monticello (Jefferson's house) which makes it even worse.

I know why the civil war was started I also know what was used as a major motivator to the people of the union...slavery...Kind of like today we are fighting a war over oil, yet it was started over "terrorism".

That post was made at 12:30 and shouldn't have been made since i had been up going on 36 hours. Abraham Lincoln's name should have been after my statement, not Jefferson's, please forgive me.

The south seceded due to its opposing viewpoint on the expansion of slavery in the united states. The union rejected the succession and Lincoln's sole goal was to restore the union. IIRC, the south attacked Fort Sumter, which started the war. Only after fearing defeat, he used the abolishment of slavery as a way to motivate black-americans and slaves to fight against the confederation, a year after the war had started.

I had a black lady here at work tell me she loved it back in the 60s-70s when it was a black white thing. Once the mexicans and muslims moved in, they ruined the area. i agreed.

peaple said the same thing about the irish and italians...get used to it.

And I'm pretty sure the Muslims would say things were pretty nice in their neighborhoods until those asshole westerners showed up.

Very clever Mr Y8s. What would he be called if birthed by c-section? A bloody wound?

nothings says what a great neighborhood like goats and trash and dirt and feces.

That's a mild generalization Brainy. Middle Eastern countries have their wealthy and their poor like any other country. Your statement is true of many American white communities as well.

Some of the worst neighbors I've had have been well off white middle class folk. Just go into a wallmart in a primarily white neighborhood ... scary how shallow the gene pool really is. I'd rather have a Chinese or Iraqi neighbor than a good old boy redneck who listens to Skynyrd and gets drunk every weekend.

All people suck equally. It's a fact. Fear of other races just shows ignorance.

dump truck

Nice ninja edit to cover up your failed rick roll

im never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.

who's most likely to have tools and a lift and not smell like fish?

You must be dating the wrong gals!

the sceen didn't show up black like I thought it would. But hell, dump truck is still the funiest thing known to the most distinguished of the pop-culture elite.

I'm amazed at some of the comments in here.

Educated, knowledgeable people revealing that they're actually racist idiots.

Hustler sounding (mostly) like a rational human being.

Astounded.

I'd also like to point out that all stereo-types are true, and should be embraced.
