Krystene,
I said best friend, not just friend. You make a lot of assumptions, all of which have been inaccurate about. On the other hand, I have made no assumptions about you, and only base what I think of you from what you have displayed here flamboyantly for all to see. Regardless, I hope you have a great life. All of us survivors deserve to know what real love feels like, and I would hope that that is our reason for the time we spend here, and why we share ourselves with other survivors and families of abusive behavior modification programs.
Pictures!!!
Note: One of these has an almost naked black man in them, so if that offends you, don't look!

The party had a mix of whitie-white girls, ranging from indie/emo music girls, to D&D Ren-Fair, nerdy girls. On my best friend?s side it was her Auntie, her sister-in-law, and some other friends. This stripper guy did his show for almost an hour. He was very strong, and was also pretty insistent about our participation. I saw my sister do things that night that I know for a fact she will never do again. And I have it on film!!! (Not for you guys though) My friend who put this party on has been a close friend of mine since I lived in St. Louis, about 8 years now. She was my neighbor turned best friend, and over the years I have pretty much become a part of their family, and she ours. She was my matron of honor at my wedding, but unfortunately unable to be here because she was ill. That was a big disappointment, because out of all my friends, I treasure our friendship the most. She has been an amazing support, and devoted friend who I have learned much from throughout the years. We?ve been through a lot together. My main reason for even saying this is because I want you to understand, Krystene that it is
your attitude that strengthens the racial divide in the end, not mine. I will always practice my right to speak my mind, and be able to disagree with the morals and/or ethics of other people without hate or race playing a role in that decision. As I said before, that is your misunderstanding.
I?d like to applaud the majority of the people in this thread for keeping it together, and not falling into that ever-so-familiar ?confrontational? frame of mind, that will never get any of us the places that real communication and compassion will.
Cheers.
