Me and Trent don't hang out, sorry. I know him from my days with the newspaper in Mississippi, and I've covered a few of his campaigns.
You know him, but you haven't hung out with him? From what you've described, you don't "Know" him. You "Know of him". I'm going to call you on your bull shit earlier.
"I have known the man personally for years"
If you "know" someone personally, that indicates that you've spent time with them and/or have had some time of personal exchanges.
Dixie said:For C. Mason Weaver's definition of "Plantation Democrats" you'll have to buy the book, it is too complicated to articulate here,
If you are going to be so emboldened as to call someone a plantation pinhead, you should be able to back it up with facts. I'll give you the benefit of the dout and assume you have more facts other than the fact that I'm black......because ya know....that would be racist.
And No... I didn't say that in the context presented. It is a deliberate manipulation of the words, to convey that message, but that was not what I said at all. In order to try and illustrate how someones view was flawed, I used an absurd example, which Maine distorted for his own purposes. I have never held that viewpoint, and I certainly agree that people who don't want to do business with black people, are probably racist at heart. Just like, I think people who don't want to support Israel, are probably anti-Semetic at heart.
If you say so.
