Well, Mr. Fodder gets credit for being honest.

When I see a White man in a Mercedes I think who did he kill to get that (or how many subprime loans did he write, how much income has he misstated on his tax returns, how often has he pressed his advantage against unsophisticated people).

I suspect that if I had a day or two to spend with most Oklahomans I could come up with a list of laws they break on a regular basis.  Aren't a very large number of Tulsans driving without insurance?  This image of native Oklahomans marching through life completely within the bounds of the law is ludicrous.

A couple of funny stories from my career and dealing with perception... early in my banking career I worked in OKC and called on several banks in the western part of the state. I quickly learned that if I pulled up in front of a bank in a 10 year old BMW with 100M miles on it worth no more than $3,000 that the bank president would look out his window and think.. "that boy is making too much money on my account". Whereas I could pull up in a brand new Ford F-250 dooley with leather interior that cost $35,000 and the bank president would walk out front to meet me and say.."that's a nice truck son".

I also called on a bank in Sallisaw and I got to the door at the same time as an elderly couple. I held the door open for them and as they entered the lady of the couple looked at me and asked "are you a salesman or an examiner? The only people in this town that wear suits are salemen and examiners". She was right of course.

I guess the point is we all deal with and have to be sensitive to the impressions we give. Even us WASP's....

Those standing on your side of the room would constitute "the bigots."  Everyone else is just part of the conspiracy.  Tell us da Twoof!

Some days I'm a bigot.  Some days I'm a good person.  It depends on which of my multiple personalities wakes up first that morning.

THE VOICES!  OH THE VOICES!!!!!
