But without challenges or leaving our comfort zones we can't grow. We stagnate. So if it doesn't feel right, perhaps we should explore why not before dismissing the concept out of hand.Debbie Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165633698868069538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-16855483612404733202012-11-23T09:46:45.814+11:002012-11-23T09:46:45.814+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12815305516743167241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-13894962040809214372012-11-23T08:34:55.219+11:002012-11-23T08:34:55.219+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12815305516743167241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-25657055645855725032012-11-23T07:40:59.516+11:002012-11-23T07:40:59.516+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12815305516743167241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-29668538674007004582012-11-22T20:25:59.165+11:002012-11-22T20:25:59.165+11:00A veru good articleA veru good articleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357838867200059835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-82448353173798773042012-11-22T18:11:40.365+11:002012-11-22T18:11:40.365+11:00That's a frightening picture really Mist.

I remember my Grandad making rude comments about the smelly hoaries in my class after seeing a class photo, he then asked if they were in the extension class by quota. He genuinely thought of them as the barbarous savages that you read about.Debbie Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165633698868069538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-17654712238042061262012-11-22T18:08:54.695+11:002012-11-22T18:08:54.695+11:00I'm just so over hearing it as justification f...I'm just so over hearing it as justification for mixing and matching things that just don't work together - immanence and transcendence for example.<br /><br />The whole "if you intentions are pure" crap makes me throw up in my mouth a little every time I hear it.

Actually several racists.<br /> Some were US citizens and they thought coloured people were animals. You kept your dog in a kennel, your pigs in their sty, and you didn't let your family date the coloured folk. To them it was beastiality pure and simple, and the "feeling" was perverse.<br /><br /> The other came from South Africa. He didn't really think on the K...native folks. They went in the trucks to the work places, lived in nasty huts, and just weren't people. Sure they did the cooking, the cleaning, the manual labour work about the building and streets but that's ok they weren't people. His wife was worse, because she thought they were dirty. "They used to laugh when one of the K.... children got caught by the river or river wildlife" he told me. It was quite the sight with them all running about.<br /> Now that might sound a bit outlandish to our modern PC drenched minds, but those people were the peak of their civilisation in their area. Doctors, Dentists, Engineers, Market Analysts.<br /><br />To them such things "felt right" and standing beside/behind 'one of the coloureds' - let along sharing a table or shaking their hand, was gut wrenchingly Wrongness. It would be like eating from your pets bowl, or frenching it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-4780287402880691282012-11-22T17:45:39.927+11:002012-11-22T17:45:39.927+11:00Well said.

And it is a shame that people either aren't willing to help them, or they are unwilling to accept the help offered. Luanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435220836397907431noreply@blogger.com
