how do you know he wasnt referring to black friends when he spoke of good, hard-working people?
You a mind (or should I say finger) reader? Me neither. Well there is ONE finger we all can read. But that's not what I was saying. If you or I were talking about our good hard working black friends, wouldn't you have said so? I would have. I only have one black friend (if you don't count his family. I am friends with them to) and he's a good man and friend. We have been friends for 32 years now.
I got a white trash nephew I'll give you though. He only has three kids by two wives and can't provide for himself let alone his kids. So they got taken away from him. He is all fucked up.
My black friend has had the same wife forever, four kids and they all (including he and his wife) have college educations and are doing fine. Well one daughter struggles some.
Go figure eh?
Say what you mean though. If he (Tex) has black friends and is a stand up guy, he should have said so and get off the generalizing about all blacks. You can't apply everything to everybody. It don't work that way.
