I had a friend that lived for many years as a child and teenager in Alabama while her father was stationed there in the air force. I visited her a few years ago in Maryland, and she was talking about when they moved to Alabama in the 1960's and her mom went to the laundromat to do laundry, after moving down south from Massachusetts. A woman in the laundromat tried to stop her from putting a load of clothes in one machine, explaining that the machine she was trying to use was for "coloreds." Her mom told the woman that it was fine, she had put her white clothes in the machine marked "Whites" and her colored clothes in the machine marked "Coloreds." |

I'm surprised it didn't get her a burning cross on the front lawn though. I doubt it. She didn't do it to make a statement, she did it because she honestly thought that the laundromat wanted customers to separate their colors from their whites. Now if a black person had put their white clothes in the machine marked "whites" that would have been a different story. In Florida, where I grew up, I wondered why the department store where my grandfather worked had two sets of restrooms and two water fountains right next to each other. By that time they had ended that sort of segregation and just kept all the restrooms open. My mom told me that my older brother had once demanded that he be allowed to drink "colored" water at the water fountain. What kid wouldn't want colored water as opposed to clear water? |

I don't think that adding "Pinot noir" makes it a new graphic. We have a news clip on our clip wall of a California vintner whose label art of a reclining nude was rejected. The artist tried again, removing the 'offensive' flesh. Yep, a reclining skeleton in the same composition. Also rejected.[...] The upright mafia strikes again! -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 Celebrity culture is an opposite of community, informing us that these few nonsense-heads matter but that the rest of us do not. - Jay Griffiths |

Why don't we focus more on what it causing Honey Bees to vanish, globally and what effect that could have on humanity.
