Granny Mac, I am DEFINITELY not racists or predjudiced . Never have been. I was simply stating facts as they are happening. I believe in live and let live. We are all individually different and so much the same. Here, I think, we are discussing the difference in cultures, which as it is real and proven, varies from race to race. Yes, your friend is lovely. But surely you have to admit that not all coloured people are Saints ? Nor are the whites and the browns and the yellows...There are the good the bad and the ugly in within all of us......we live all of us on the same planet....I had best friends and people I respect, in all these different categories. Please, do not lecture me on a misunderstood comment. Thank you. gmx
