First Things First.....

Anyone else sick and tired of people playing the race card when the argument is not going their way?

I better not tell my ceiling fan joke today 

[Crimson Phoenix]

It happened.  As I recall now, the issue got pretty heated.  In a forum like Tidesports, Jody probably never should have mentioned his daughter's mixed race relationship.  He is/was living in Atlanta where it is accepted. 

Most posters on Tidesports at the time were rural Alabamians.  There was some racism on the forum.  People were always making fun of Mexicans especially.

This is too serious of an issue to be talking about here....but just want to say that Jody is justified in feeling the way he does.  The things ssmithgeneral said to him were pretty hurtful.  I believe ssmithgeneral will have a hard time overcoming his past online behavior.  He made too many people angry.

Just as I will have always have a hard time overcoming the "granny" thing and my "mean spirited" ways.  Sometimes is it just better to concentrate on your real life....most of the time it is much better.

Respectfully, he could overcome it if you, and others, would simply just quit bringing it up.

da#@, people.  The past is the past.  Doesn't anyone get that???

People change.  People move on.  Let's just drop the bickering and "who did what to whom" and get past it. 

Sheesh.

[Crimson Phoenix]

No, people don't seem to get it.


But it didn't help for ssmith to forget most of what happened.   I think Jody would have appreciated ssmith saying "I was wrong...and I am sorry for hurting you."

Hey Crimson if I may, please know that I love you as a child of the King, but the general did post an apology I saw it. It was heart felt too as you could see. Thanks for understanding. RTR!

[Crimson Phoenix]

You are right Ricky.  The general put forth his best effort in making things right. He is not a mushy type.

[ssmithhhh]

And Jody could simply have never come over here just to drag up what is ancient history.  If ssmith doesn't wish to apologize, that's his business.  Not yours, mine or anyone elses.

Let's leave the man alone.    You do notice he's not listed among the administrators now, right?

[Crimson Phoenix]

Yes, I saw where he said goodbye to that.  I wish him the VERY BEST with his real life.  He deserves a good REAL LIFE.  We have all worked through a few problems by being online and are better people because of it.

Ditto.

Come back ssmith. We don't want you to leave. Your friends miss you.

Is it bigoted to say that rural Alabamians are racist or have racist tendencies. At what "population per square mile" does this occur? Is this phenom just in Alabama or do other states have similar problems? Would you suggest that the hicks be required to do city internships, for enlightenment and de-hatification? BTW, I agree with most else that you have posted, but I live out in the country, so my opinion should be automatically discounted. RTR

I am a rural Alabamian and was brought up in an all white town with racist views.  I generalized I guess and was wrong I suppose.  I apologize.  

My views changed a lot during the years I lived in Atlanta (about 15 years).

But I have always been a "hick."

And I am leaving the forum for the rest of the day while I am still ahead.  It's amazing what being on that forum thread and not sleeping well afterwards has done to my state of mind.  I am rattling on like an idiot.

[lgarner]

I have a good friend who I heard preach a sermon at my church one night that has always stuck with me and the title of it was "Let it go!!" I've bantered about topics with both the general and Jodybaker and have nothing against either and do remember that thread, but what's between them is between those two and the rest of us need to just let it go. Today is a new day and I am about to celebrate the day my Lord and Savior paid the ultimate price for me in which He has forgiven me of all my sins I have committed against Him and others. Life is to short to lug around our garbage, especially when we don't have to.

I apologize to you. Sorry for stepping on your fingers to further my point. That point being that the sensitivity gate swings both ways. JMO, but Jody came here to intentionally start a fight with SS, using the race card, knowing Smith's long forgotten comments would be indefensible. He got the attention he obviously craves (or he would be posting on a USCe board) and is now the big hero to the WA malcontents.
