It was not instilled in me by friends, relatives or neighbors. However, prejudice and bigotry are not the same thing, despite what most people think. The man in your story may have been one, or he may have been the other; what's for certain is that he was a jerk.

I love my southern home of Tennessee, but it still stuns me when I hear of these incidents. I just don't understand it. I always feel compelled to say something, but I don't always say what I am thinking. I am sorry that your little boy was exposed to such a pig. I like the idea you had, of "rearranging", shall we say, his foot!LOL And what a cute little frog!Karen Thomason/Gordon Setter Crossinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227448504530795035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952975163957528731.post-62184855214933508082010-01-21T13:53:45.724-08:002010-01-21T13:53:45.724-08:00He IS adorable, and there's no excuse for bigo...He IS adorable, and there's no excuse for bigotry or racial predjudice, expressed or otherwise.
