Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 617485, member: 780"] Never used? Never used? You actually think anyone's position was that any words were never used? What we are talking about here was what was in common or even frequent use. I went to integrated schools and served in an integrated armed forces and I rarely heard the word used and certainly never heard anybody called that. The picture of America of in the 1950's you get from watching Hollywood movies isn't any more accurate than the picture of the Old West in the 1880's shown in Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. Find someone you trust who was actually there and ask them what America was like then. [/QUOTE]
