My son used to get harassed by the people in my neighborhood because he's half black. One day his black friends were over, and they were complaining about white people - grouping them altogether.

Figured I'd throw in a monkey wrench, so I walked into the room and asked how I fit into the picture. My son said "Mom, you're not white - you're TRANSPARENT." They all busted out laughing. Me too, cuz with all the spider veins in my legs, it looks like a roadmap. Anyone need any directions?

My son was 7 when the movie "Ghost" came out. It was also the time he lost his grandparents - my mom and dad, within 8 days of each other. It was a tough year. He really loved the song "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers - REALLY loved it.

So we're driving down the street when he was a young punk, listening to the Righteous Brothers. He was absolutely amazed to find out the singers were white. He didn't believe me until we got home and I showed him a picture of those two funny looking old white dudes.

I told him. See, ya little SNOB? White people can have "soul" and "inspiration" too. At least he knows there's something inside all that transparency.

KathyM, How old are you? Did you ever watch "The Jeffersons", with George & Louise? George was sorta?????. His son married a girl with a 'white' father & a 'black' mother. He called her a "zebra". I guess that was supposed to be funny.

Would you describe intruders and thieves as fair?

I'm with Snoopy on this one. We'll keep going round and round in circles until we stop playing games and start looking at each other as human beings - eveyrwhere around the world.

Dunno Clouds - only know families tend to get angry sometimes and fight with each other.

The only crow I ever met was inside my mulberry tree - hiding from my dog.

We talked, but he didn't say much.

ohn Neihardt died in 1973. Two years before his death, an appearance on The **** Cavett Show provoked the most viewer response in the history of the show. In 1961, an act of the legislature installed a bust of Neihardt, sculpted by his wife Mona Martinson, in the Nebraska Capitol rotunda, when the governor proclaimed the first Sunday in August John Neihardt Day. His daughter Hilda has published recent (1991) editions of his work.
