My dear Ken: Since it's the 21st century, don't you think it's time we put the old stereotypes to rest? I assure you, my Choctaw Markham grandmother DID NOT speak like that! She may not have had quite the command of the English language that you do, but perhaps she would have had, had she been allowed to go to school with your race. Believe it or not, the only time I stick a feather in my hair is on special ceremonial occasions. My great grandfather was shot off his horse and killed by a vigilante group of the good white citizens of his county because they didn't like the Choctaws moving into "their neighborhood". Our warriors are now some pretty fair Harvard and Princeton-trained attorneys. Perhaps a little sensitivity training might be in order when posting to a public mail list. Not all Markham descendants are pure Caucasian. dustyc@microgear.net -----Original Message----- From: Ken Markham <markham@hixnet.co.za> To: MARKHAM-L@rootsweb.com <MARKHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 5:45 PM Subject: Slang...
