This is an odd message. I am from an old Southern family and I would never think of saying such an ugly thing. But then I am not a racist. Why are you writing such an attacking thing to me offlist? If you don't like the joke, don't laugh, but it is an old one that has been around for a couple of generations. And..it most clearly does relate to the Whaley family. I am very glad for you that all of your family and every one of your ancestors are absolutely perfect...not human at all...It must be quite nice. So, I take it you don't know much about Whaley family history? Including the quite well-documented Whaley who was brought before the court in the late 1700's (/) for producing a child with his brother's wife? He then ran off with her and they had six more children.... Elizabeth G.
