>>>Of course there is. And not everyone from the south is a racist. You're the one making the generalities, not me. The only person I directed the comment at was you.

>Yes, and it's not like I never am. And I'll admit it when I am. This is not a crusade. You know I think you're one of the good guys. I just think maybe you have some racist views. If you tell me straight up I'm wrong about that, I will apologize.


You are wrong. I don't really see color. I see performance. I am the right wing, republican who backed his friend, Randy Wade, a black, democrat for Sheriff here in Memphis. I had people tell me, "I can't believe you are backing a N..... . I don't like N......s." And I said, well Randy and I don't like them either!

It wasn't because Randy was black, democrat, or anything other than a good guy. Randy is now an Administrative Assistant to another democrat - Steve Cohen. I also helped Steve Cohen in his race, and he is extremely liberal. He was running against the Ford machine though, and Randy asked me to help.

So, I think you try to put me in the racist box because I live in the south. That's a common mistake. Here in the south, we do things differently, and some may think we are being racists when we don't buy into the politically correct way of dancing around things.

I have developed a program that is catching on like wildfire here in Memphis called CyberWatch. I initially called it CyberPosse, but people told me they didn't like the connotation. I didn't think anything about it. A possee, to me, was a western thing, a group of citizens that were pulled in by the Sheriff to go after bad guys. Well, we changed the name because some people thought it might otherwise be a problem. Oh well, the program is rolling out and helping keep people safe. That's the performance part. I could care less about the PC stuff. As the cable guy says, "just get er done!"
