White Supremacists/Conservative Talking Points and Mantra

Common White Supremacist Talking Points and Mantra

Typical Angry White Males.  Insecure and mad about everything. Pathetic

This was originally published in Quora under my real name but those who oppose the teaching of real history of the United States are really racist and white supremacist. 

I'm talking about you, Bill Maher, Pat McCrory, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Majorie Taylor Greene, Candice Owens, among many others who are in the public eye, denouncing CRT before even reading what is about.

 Here are the talking points of racist/white supremacist conservatives:

 “Diversity is a weakness." 

 “Blacks and Hispanics have low IQs”

 “Illegal aliens" 

“Blacks are committing most of the crimes" 

 “Muslims are terrorists"

“Don't make it about race" 

“Blacks, Hispanics, Asians are the real racists” 

 “Immigrants are taking our jobs away."

“Black men are deadbeat dads” 

“Black and Hispanic men are rapists"

 “Black women are baby making machines" 

 “Obama set race relations back” 

"White people create the modern world 🌎." 

 “Asians are taking over the universities." 

“Banks are controlled by Jews”

 “Jews are behind the race mixing agenda" 

“All lives matter"

 “White women are objectively the most beautiful.”

 “White men are the most financially successful group of people on the earth 🌎." 

 “Mixed race people suffer because they are Mixed” 

 “What about the children?" 

"Interracial relationships are wrong”

 “Why are Black and Brown women on welfare?” 

“Black, Asian, Latino, Indian, Middle Eastern men are always after White women” 

“30,000 white women are raped by Black men. No Black women ever raped by white men.” 

 “Chinese are taking over!” 

 “What about Black on Black Crime?” 

 “White men are the victims” 

 “White women are in danger. We must save them from evil men of Color.” 

 “The white race is in danger of being extinct.”

 "Get over it!" 

 The Indians are lazy drunks who complain about everything."

 "History is written by the victors. Get over it!"

 "They just playing the race card" 

"I'm not racist, but..."

"Slavery is over"

"Woke" (taken over by conservatives who resent the presence of Blacks in ads, media, TV)

"PC"

"Go woke, go broke"

These and many other talking points conservatives make about race and ethnicity.  It's not just Stormfronters, AmRenners, Alt Rightists, HBD-Sailerites, etc.  It's your Fox TV news, Republicans, Libertarians, Talk Radio, even white "liberals" such as Bill Maher, who is becoming right wing of late, berating Black people on a daily basis

Looking at the Worst Towns in America: Sundown Towns | Prism of the Past

Sundown towns are STILL a thing in America. People of Color are still being harassed and discrimated against in such towns. We have sundown towns and neighborhood in and around Dayton. Oakwood, Brookville, Miamisburg, Carlisle, Kettering, Bellbrook, Union, Phillipsburg, Tipp City, Beavercreek, and Springboro. Let's not underestimate that most Trump supporters are from sundown towns all over America. We as people of Color need to be vigilant as are antiracist and progressive whites and others. May James Loewen rest in peace. Thanks, Dr. Loewen. Without your diligent work, this painful aspect of America would've been forgotten and victims of racism are being told that "it's in the past" and "don't make it about race."

Naperville(IL) Gas Station: Clerk Suspended For Making Anti Immigrant, Anti Latino Remarks,Telling the Women, 'ICE will come'

‘ICE will come’: Naperville gas station clerk is suspended 

A protester at the Mobil Gas station in Naperville, Illinois

Here we go again with nativists and Trumpists berating and telling the Mexican tourists that ICE is coming to deport the women.

This POS have the gall to tell the women that they need to go back to their country.  It's the same remark the president made toward the four congresswomen of Color this past weekend when they criticize his policies toward immigrants and People of Color.

This is the same "president" who proclaimed alt-right protesters in Charlottesville as being "good people".  Good people my a**!


Racism at Naperville(IL) Gas Station-Facebook post

NAPERVILLE, Ill — A suburban gas station clerk has been suspended after a video posted to Facebook shows him in a confrontation with customers as he tells them, “ICE will come," and makes other anti-immigrant comments.

The clerk, who worked at the Bucky's Mobil gas station at 1576 Washington in Naperville, was recorded on video arguing with customers.

The woman who posted the video on Facebook on Tuesday wrote, “Look at this guy who didn’t want to sell us anything because we are Mexican. What a way to treat your tourists.”

In the video, the clerk can be heard asking a customer, "Are you a citizen?" The customer replies, "Yes. What is your problem?" He goes on to say, "Don't you know the rules?" The customer again asks what his problem is, to which the clerk responds, "They need to go back to their country."

Carolina Buitron, whose two cousins were visiting from Mexico and were in the video, said this has never happened to her before. She said she was upset and hurt by what happened, but said she is now getting lots of support. Buitron lives in a neighboring town and was born in the United States.

A protest was held Wednesday at the gas station in response to the clerk's comments.

On the man’s public Facebook page, he called Nancy Pelosi a Satanist and said the words he used in the video were not racist.

A spokesperson for Bucky’s said the comments the clerk made are not reflective of their core values. An investigation is ongoing about the clerk’s behavior.

The video comes just days after President Donald Trump tweeted about four congresswomen of color and told them to "go back to their country."

Bob Ahlgren, was across the street from the gas station during the protest with an American flag and a "Build the wall" sign. He stopped because he saw a protest about racism, but didn't know what happened until he saw the video. He said while he doesn't "necessarily agree with that," he said he showed up to show support for Trump.

The clerk in the video did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

______________________________________________________________________

Is this how we treat our tourists and women of Color?   This "man" treated women tourists like dirt by questioning their background, their immigration status, and refusing to sell necessities to the women involved.  I'm glad to see that the gas station gets boycotted and it should until he's fired.

The Nancy Pelosi Problem- Four Congresswomen of Color are Disrespected by Pelosi, Now Trump

"... some people cannot bear the truth, no matter how tactfully it is told. No doubt the haughty, the tyrannical, the unmerciful, the impure and the fomentors of discord take a fierce exception to the Sermon on the Mount." ~ Mary Church Terrell

Nobody wants to know a colored woman's opinion about her own status of that of her group. When she dares express it, no matter how mild or tactful it may be, it is called 'propaganda,' or is labeled 'controversial.' Those two words have come to have a very ominous sound to me.

Black Man Was Nearly Beaten To Death In Oklahoma

Shawn Carolina(Shown with his family in the photo above) was nearly

beaten to death by white supremacists in Oklahoma. 
The mainstream media won't cover this and neither do racist Colin Flaherty.

You won't hear this from Colin Flaherty nor from Faux news because this doesn't fit their racist rhetoric about Black men.  Blacks are the victims of real hate crimes in America.  The news media and law enforcement along with the American public don't take these crimes against Blacks seriously because of white supremacist society's devaluation of Blacks and Black life.

This man pictured above is Shawn Carolina.  Mr. Carolina was nearly beaten to death by two white/white presenting thugs in the parking lot of Brickhouse Saloon in Shawnee, Oklahoma. 

According to Raw Story, Mr. Carolina was beaten by two White men in the parking lot.  The men shout out racial slurs as they beat both men.  Here's the rest of this horrendous story:
________________________________________________________________

White men caught on camera brutally beating Black Oklahoma man while yelling racial slurs.

Two white men over the weekend were caught on camera brutally beating a black man and his friend while yelling racial slurs.

Local news station KFOR reports that Shawn Carolina of Shawnee, Oklahoma this weekend was in the parking lot of the local Brickhouse Saloon, where he had just finished having drinks with a friend.

In the parking lot, the two men were confronted by two other men who had been in the brewery with them. The two men proceeded to viciously beat Carolina and his friend — and as they walked away from them, one of them shouted out, “You’re dead, n****r!”

Shawn’s wife, Jamie Carolina, tells KFOR she was appalled by the men’s actions.

“After they knocked him out, why continue to beat him?” she asked. “They just pounded on him like he was nothing.”

Shawn Carolina was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries that were described by KFOR as “life threatening,” and he is still in the hospital recovering from the beating.

Shawn Carolina family has set up a Go Fund Me Fund to help out with medical expenses:

Fundraiser to Help Shawn Carolina's Medical Expenses

So far, not one ounce of sympathy coming from Oklahoma's Republican governor, Kevin Stitt.  As a matter of fact, most nonblack Oklahomans voted for the white supremacist president who wanted to rollback hate crime protections for victims.  He's the same guy who said that the alt white protesters are "good people".  Good people, my a@@!

May he and his family receive the help they so need and put those punks in jail for life and to get justice they so deserve.

The Roxbury(Boston) Murders: 40 Years Later: The Estuary Project

11 black women were murdered in Boston 40 years ago. A local artist is remembering them across the city.

These are six of eleven women who were slain in Boston.

They are young and beautiful Black women with futures ahead of them.

The following has been written by a good reporter by the name of Dialynn Dwywer of Boston.com in commemoration of the 40th year anniversary of the Boston Murders.  The unsolved serial murders of Black women have galvanized the Black community and the emergent Black feminist coalition, The Combahee River Collective and many known Black feminists around the country.  They were demanding accountability from the city, the police, and the citizens of Boston regarding the deaths of so many Black women in that city.  They discuss the misogynistic culture as well as the racism Boston is notorious for back in the 70s.

Here's the story of Kindra Hicks who is trying to commemorate the victims by erecting a collage of balloons at various locations where the women were murdered.  

Please read the story below:

______________________________

This is one of several balloon installments throughout Boston in commemoration of the women murdered in 1979

The artist behind the memorial project, Kindra Hicks

Forty years ago, the body of 29-year-old Daryal Ann Hargett was found by her landlord in her South End apartment.

The social worker, who was described as quiet and serious by those who knew her, had been stabbed to death. She was the fifth black woman to be murdered in Boston that year, and she wouldn’t be the last.

By the end of May 1979, the number of women murdered in Boston would rise to 12. All but one were black.

The bodies of the 11 black women — all between the ages of 15 and 34 — were found in Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, the South End, and Back Bay. 

Kendra Hicks, a local artist and community organizer, will remember Hargett’s death on Thursday with a 24-hour art installation near where the 29-year-old’s body was found. Since January, Hicks has been putting up temporary artwork for each of the women who died in the rash of violence 40 years ago.

“One of the things I wanted to pose really was, ‘Who gets memorialized in the city and who’s allowed to be memorialized? Who has monuments erected in their name?’” Hicks told Boston.com.

A Boston native who grew up in Egleston Square, Hicks said she started doing community organizing work in her teens. Through her activism, she began studying black feminists and black feminism, which led her to discover the Combahee River Collective.

“The Combahee River Collective is a black, queer socialist collective that was here in Roxbury from 1974 to 1979, and they were one of the groups of women who basically responded to these murders when they were happening,” Hicks said. “They were creating literature for the women in the neighborhood when these murders were happening.”

It was about a year and a half ago that Hicks said she learned of the string of murders that rocked the black community at the time and decided to create artwork that would commemorate the 40th anniversary of the women’s deaths. With the help of a Kickstarter campaign and a crew of volunteers, she has been designing the installations for the 10-part memorial she calls “The Estuary Projects.”

“This is a guerrilla art project, so we don’t have any permits for them, so we’ve been putting them up and then going in and also taking them down,” Hicks said.

Putting up the artwork without permission is part of her message, she said.

“Taking space out in the city, on purpose in the public and without permission is very intentional as part of the project,” Hicks said. “Because I really do want to say that these black women do deserve to be memorialized.”

The installations go up early on the anniversary of each woman’s death near where they were found and come down 24 hours later.

“The other reason why I wanted to do installations is because the installations are really invitations for people in the community to remember our collective history but also what we survived in our community,” Hicks said. “So I knew that an installation right smack in the middle of where people are walking and spending their regular lives was going to be the way that I was going to be able to invoke that in people. To kind of spark that attention of, ‘Oh, what’s this thing that’s in the middle of my neighborhood and what does it mean?’ I wanted them to be very prominent and I wanted it to be visible and I wanted it to be public and I wanted it to be in the midst of people’s everyday doings.”

Hicks said the project has become very personal for her. She started it off by communicating the names of the 11 victims in the Bay State Banner, hoping she would be able to reach family members and friends of the women.

Then she spent hours reading about the women in newspaper archives — learning how the young women lived and the details of their violent deaths.

“It becomes overwhelming for me because you get to know all these women, and I’m creating an installation for each of these women,” she said. “But you also have to familiarize yourself with how they were taken.”

That impact is why Hicks said each of the installations features an alter and starts with a 9 a.m. ceremony where attendees light candles, say prayers, and sing songs for the victim.

The moment of remembrance is a reflection of her own process through the project, she said.

“There is a political statement that I’m making with these installations,” she said. “But it’s not lost on me that these are people and that these are women whose lives were lost. So the ritual and the ceremony is a way to honor them and to honor them as people who are our ancestors and as people who were taken in these moments.”

As she was developing the project, Hicks heard from the families of two of the women, and then a family friend showed up at one of the installations and was able to connect her to a third family.

“People are stumbling on the installations and being like, ‘Oh I knew this woman or I was around during this time,’” Hicks said. “And they start telling stories and kind of remembering.”

The installations, which run through May, are just the first part of the project.

For part two, Hicks wants to bring people together who were moved by the installations and work together to develop “alternative systems” for the neighborhoods.

“The story of the project for me is that the end of the world has come for black and brown people multiple times again,” Hicks said. “We’ve experienced things that could be considered apocalyptic. Similar to the time that we are in now. We’re having a lot of conversations about what’s happening in the world — climate change, politics, family separation, state violence — and it feels like a lot. Everybody’s kind of like, ‘Oh my God, what’s going on, the world is crumbling around us.’ So the installations are a reminder — no actually we’ve been here before. We’ve survived these kinds of things, and we’ve done it by being creative, by coming together, and by creating new things. So for me, I really want us to see this ending, this ending of the world, as an opportunity for us to build the new world.”

That’s why she chose to call the works and process “The Estuary Projects” — it’s meant to symbolize an ending and beginning at the same time.

“The other thing with an estuary is an estuary has its own ecosystem,” Hicks  said. “And so actually at the moment where an ending and beginning meet, where the river and ocean meet, there’s something brand new that’s created there. There’s like a brand new ecosystem. So I’m trying to signal us to think of this as an estuary moment.”

Another memorial in a different location

After the installation for Hargett, works for six other women will follow through May: 17-year-old Desiree Denise Etheridge, 22-year-old Darlene Rogers, 31-year-old Lois Hood Nesbitt, 19-year-old Valyric Holland, 30-year-old Sandra Boulware, and 34-year-old Bobbie Jean Graham. Artworks remembering Christine Ricketts, 15, Andrea Foye, 17, Gwendolyn Yvette Stinson, 15, and Caren Prater, 25, have already gone up and been taken down.

_________________________________________________________

While we can't bring the victims of the Boston 1979 murders back, we can memorialize their lives and help their surviving family members and their loved ones to survive as well as to help young Black women, men, and their children to avoid pitfalls and to beat the odds stacked against them in this increasingly racist, polarizing society. We can do this by mentoring, nurturing potential talent of our young Black girls and boys, etc.

CP5-Central Park Five Documentary by Ava Duvernay

Mr Superboy's excellent video on the Central Park Five


I was just 18 years old when this happened. The 1980s/early nineties were a period of racial polarization. Bush Sr. pushed the Willie Horton ad to the public, then he called the Civil Rights bill as "a quota bill". Next, the Bensonhurst murder where Yusef Hawkins was shot because racists thought he was seeing a white girl, Charles Stuart lied to the public regarding the murder of his wife. That coward got so many innocent Black men abused and railroaded by the Boston police, notorious for its racism. When his story didn't add up and his own brother was about to turn him in for the murder of his wife, he cowardly took his life. WS republican David Duke was flexing his political might in Louisiana. There was a war against Black men in America. We need to take this seriously.


The media made a big deal out of the boys who were falsely accused of rape, while the actual guy by the name of Mathias Reyes was out there serially raping and murdering women during this time. Also, there was a Black woman who was raped, beaten, thrown into the elevator shaft to be left for dead in Harlem. No persons of interest and almost no media coverage whatsoever. We are conditioned to value certain races of women, while disregarding the lives of Black and brown women as victims.

See the continuation of the stories of the now-exonerated men known as the Central Park 5: Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise. When They See Us is based on a true story that gripped the country in 1989. The four part limited series by Ava DuVernay chronicles the notorious case of five teenagers of color, labeled the Central Park Five, who were convicted of a rape they did not commit. Watch their rise to triumph on May 31st, only on Netflix.

How Strom Thurmond Created Trump 

That despicable bigot Strom Thurmond.

The current "president"-  Strom Thurmond and the old bigoted Republican Party  created this monster!

Today, I'm writing about the influence of how right-wing and racist politicians of the previous century contributed to the rise of the alt-right and the 45th "President".  That the mainstream media doesn't want to discuss this because of their role in creating the monster.

Whenever I hear about the media is being liberal, I cringe because it's not true.  The media is actually conservative in not truly challenging the status quo or denying parts of American history.  I'm not just talking about Fox news.  NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, the NYT, Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, USA Today, etc.  Today's media is own by very few people and the news we get is often biased or watered down.

Let's get back to talking about that dead senator Strom Thurmond.
Strom's father was an avid supporter of Ben Tillman, a notorious white supremacist who advocated lynching and denying Blacks and People of Color education and employment opportunities other than laborers, sharecropping, and domestic service.

In 1924, Strom exploited and impregnated a Black household domestic who gave birth to his first child, Essie Mae Washington on October 10, 1925.  For decades her existence has been shrouded in secrecy, lies, and humiliation until his death in 2003.

Yep, he said this back in the fifties.

Strom has used race, religion, and gender to divide the people of South Carolina, the South, and, eventually, the nation.  His family was connected to notorious White supremacists such as Ben Tillman and Coleman Blease.   Coleman Blease racism was so blatant and open that some of his White supremacist supporters were turned off by such displays.  Read up on both Ben Tillman and Coleman Blease at Wikipedia.  Some of the stuff are shocking to some but to many people, especially Black people, none of this surprise us as we are going through another time of intolerance and bigotry in 2019.

Hate Crime: California Synagogue Shooting - My View

Another Synagogue Shooting.  Anti Semitism is on the increase, thanks to white supremacists and that president.  When will hate end?  What we need now is love, unity, and compassion.  Not division, hatred, and destruction.


Tell this to the president who called the alt-white protesters in Charlottesville fine people.  Fine people my foot!  They're white supremacists period and they spread more hate and destruction than anyone else.  Rosewood, anyone?  Tulsa, anyone?  Wilmington, NC, anyone?  Charleston, SC, anyone?  It seems to me that history is repeating itself.

To those in denial, this hatred toward People of Color and Non-Christians is real and they're carried out by White supremacists, White Nationalists, Alt Whitists.  That president is enabling the hate crimes by not enacting stronger measures nor is he condemning them strongly because his supporters are also White supremacists and are in high positions in government.

California is the most multicultural states of America.  The state is a microcosm of the Melting pot/mosaic of various races, ethnicities, religions, cultures, and classes.  White America is afraid of the real America as opposed to the fictional America in which WASPs reign supreme through oppression various groups of people.

May prayers go out to the victims families of the California synagogue shooting.  Also to the members of the Chabab Temple.  They need all the help they can get. 

Hate and bigotry must end!

Racist Rant/Hate Crime in Charlotte

Another day in Trump's America.

A white man in Charlotte, North Carolina, stormed into the territory of a family and began shouting at the homeowners because they had a “F*** Trump” sign displayed in their lawn.

An expletive-laden video of the incident showed the man in the family’s lawn. At first, he argued with the homeowner and absurdly said the sign upset him because he didn’t like the fact that his children saw the word “F***” as they drove by his house.

The man then bizarrely claimed that he is a Bernie Sanders’ supporter and voted for him in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. However, just seconds later he adopted a racist tone – something that Sanders has repeatedly denounced.

Along with the sign that criticized Trump, the homeowners had several other boards pinned in their lawn which included slogans such as, “Black Lives Matter” and “Refugees welcome home.”

“It smells like g*ddamn weed in your entire f***ing house, that’s why the cops are coming right now, motherf***er! I’m gonna get you, n****r! N****r, n****r, n****r!” he yelled as he went towards his truck.

A female member of the family who was recording the video then went outside in an attempt to capture the number plate of the truck on camera while the man continued with his racist tirade.

“I built this country! And y’alls’ house smells like f***ing weed! I smelled it when I was walking up here!” said the racist man.

He then hopped in his truck and drove away.

As the video went viral, information regarding the man started coming up and the hash tag #LawnSignLarry emerged on Twitter.

People on social media tracked down the number plate and identified the bigoted man in the video as Cullen Heald. It was also reported that the truck the man had is reportedly registered in the name of his father.

The bigot's name:  Cullen Heald

Protesters held a vigil at the couple's house in Charlotte this week.  Thank goodness for that.

Here's the video of the racist bigot:

Many years ago, a Filipina by the name of Keely chronicled a list of racist and sexist incidents toward her while living in Charlotte for seven years between 2004 through 2011.  Here's her story:

Posted On: 8/11/2012 9:19:45 AM
I lived in Charlotte for 7 years and even finished college there. Horrible place if you're Asian or just not prejudice. I once worked somewhere where my favorite clients, a couple, told me they were moving. I was shocked. They told me it's because they didn't want their newborn growing up in such a racist city. They were both Caucasian, and your average middle to upper-middle-class family. It pained me to see how real it was when people of the same race as the majority who were ignorant toward me for years, saw the same thing I had. In many ways it was quite refreshing too. In 7 years living there, I had 1) a suited and well-dressed Caucasian male (I'd call him a man, but a real man wouldn't be racist) with two other professionally dressed of the same, all with long, trench coats, pass by me as I left The Fox and Hound restaurant and actually say to me, "That must be a hard job!" I didn't pass them until a few blocks away from the restaurant and I wore a very modest close to the knee skirt and a nice modest top that didn't even show cleavage. That a** made me feel low, bringing himself up. He wanted to think Filipinas, even one born and raised in the South in the US, were all mail order brides and prostitutes. 2) I walked in a commercial tire/oil shop and the guy on the phone was speaking at regular pace, normal, not too fast not too slow, just normal. Suddenly, he gets off the phone and says, "Maaaayyyy Iiiiiii heeellllllpppp youuuuuuuu???" I wrote the company, they called me back, I told them I didn't want to sue just wanted to let them know how stupid he was, and they fired him, and gave me several discount coupons...but I never returned. Not even to this day to another one. But I was glad for their formidable attitude. 3) I brought my then boyfriend's dog into a vet, I walked in and no one greeted me. I sat thinking they're busy in the back, even hearing voices and not even muffled. The door chime even rang and it was a very small clinic. Then a Caucasian enters, same door, same chime sounds, and out comes the receptionist. 4) I was in a grocery store. Quick stop. I see two well-dressed, in suits again, gentleman across the aisles looking over at me. They had to be in their 50's. One looked over his shoulder at me and then back at his friend and started saying, fairly loudly, "Ching chang chong..." I was so appalled, I walked halfway over to him and asked loudly in clear English, "DID YOU JUST MAKE FUN OF ME?" Tail between his legs, he said a stupid answer of "No." 5) I was at the mall, and as soon as I stepped on an escalator, a man passes me and says, "Konichiwa"...I'm so American, I guess, that I probably didn't even spell something he believes I know, correctly. 6) I was in a restaurant, they had karaoke, I was asked by someone who was pointing to the karaoke DJ, "Oh, is that your husband?" 7) I was in another restaurant, a former military guy sits at my table without asking, mind you, I grew up around military people and never once had anything remotely of this calibre happen to me...I tell him I just came to eat alone and if he'd mind not sitting down with me. He threw the chair a few feet, slammed it back and left the table. 8) I was seated with a colleague who invited me out with his friends. Halfway through dinner, the question of what to do came up for after dinner. When I ran down a list and mentioned karaoke, one of his friends said this, "Us white people, we Caucasians don't like karaoke, we don't do that!" My colleague never breathed anything to me during or after, or while at work. I asked him later why not, he still didn't know what to say. It was the worst stunner I had as it was within the first few months of moving there for college. I probably have a few more events, but you get the picture. I gave it 7 years, with 3 being after college. I couldn't take it any longer, when the last straw was with a different company and my stand in manager while our manager was out of town yelled at me to "SIT DOWN" when I was tired of her yelling at me and I had to stand up to leave and quit. I had enough of this that racist town, I married a Caucasian, I have a half-Chinese/half-Caucasian step son, and I now live in what turned out to be another very white community, but with no racist remarks whatsoever. Must be because I am up North! Thank God for that!
