My father's people go a long way back in NOLA. Unfortunately, my sisters and I are too swarthy skinned for most of them.
I have?
Fuck! Yes, swarthy is dark-skinned. Hopefully this I will remember. Otherwise, I may end up like my mother with my cupboards full of salt and my refrigerator full of celery because I keep forgetting that I already bought some.
oh yes you can; down here you can technically get a dui for riding your horse drunk on a public road... i guess bicycles, tractors, horses all count as driving... even if the top speed is 10
No, too dark-skinned for my father's family. My sisters and I were not treated well by certain members of my father's family. I recently learned that it was specifically because of our mother's heritage. What made it so ridiculous is that my mother came from an excellent family, both sides of whom came to the Caribbean and made their own ways, one grandfather of hers started up the first bank in his town, which happens to house the oldest church in the western hemisphere. Yet, because of where she was from, wasn't good enough for them. It explained a LOT about my experiences growing up. A hell of a lot.too dark skinned for n.o. people... how?? in the "chocolate city"???
damn bigots..

Just for an idea, one of my uncles supported David Duke when he made his bid for Louisiana governor. Fucking David Duke. That same uncle lives about a quarter mile away from where the levy breached, and being a survivalist, he was ready to rock & roll when the armed forces came around to take everyone away. Johnny had his guns and ammo and said, "Just you try!"
Most the people in Louisiana are douche bags. The girls are beatiful though. I lived there for 22 years, born and raised. The only thing I miss is the food. Its been at least 3 years since I was there last. Need to get down there and see my mom and brother. And eat some damn crawfish too
I wasnt meaning any disrespect with the douchebag comment, as I am also from Louisiana. Some of the best people I know are in Louisiana but they seem far out numbered by all the hustler wannabe's and thugs. Im from that riverboat casino town. Been gone about 6 years now
Hey gogrow, with all due respect.....
Just fuckin wit cha, hustler. I guess its not easy being anything else there, its hustle or be huslted. Keep it real down there and eat some crawfish for me.
I can't believe you didn't encourage him to suck the heads.Keep it real down there and eat some crawfish for me.
