Only a racist would assume that black people would vote in lockstep unison just because a candidate was black. Only a racist would assume that black people are inherently inferior, subhuman beings who are incapable of accomplishing the ordinary tasks of daily living -- such as obtaining a photo ID.

Thank you. I got some beef ribs on deep discount. Those I'll do very, very slowly in the oven on low with very thin layers of smoky BBQ sauce brushed on throughout the process. I bussed tables in a restaurant that was known for its ribs and the chef liked to brag and show off. Those who paid attention learned the tricks to several of his best recipes.

I did not say I took the test as an adult. And you're the one claiming I lack reading comprehension?

I'm heading out to do some grocery shopping. I don't know if I'll be back to look in before bedtime or not but I might drop by in the morning before I go to work. Pray for all the good people of all races there who were laid off due to government incompetence.

I like the NC styles best for pulled pork, but when it comes to pork or beef ribs I prefer the smoky, Kansas City sauces. A Vietnamese co-worker makes the world's absolute best spicy, grilled chicken wings and her baby back ribs are pretty amazing too.

Thank you. There are quite a few people here that I wish I knew in "real life". More than enough to make up for the nutcases. LOL

We dyslexics tend to excel in our ability to turn what we visualize into reality. My oldest son, also dyslexic, is a computer programer. My father, probably undiagnosed dyslexic, spent most of his working life as a repairman. He told me that he fixed things by thinking of how the machine should work, mentally walking it through all the steps in 3-D, and "seeing" what could be wrong to create the problem in question. At home I draft my own sewing patterns and, until I moved to this warm climate, knitted things by creating a mental image of what I wanted, making a rough sketch, jotting down a little math based on the gauge sample, and just knitting it. If I got stuck I'd "look" at the vision in my head to see what came next.

My best pulled pork recipe is done in the oven. I got it from a popular cooking website but I'm afraid I can't link to it because I don't wish to make any connections between my political forum ID and my regular internet ID. There is a rub similar to what you described, but with somewhat different proportions. Also it has onions and garlic in the original recipe and I add celery seed and bay leaf. Then its pot-roasted in cider vinegar. You have to roll it over halfway through to get the vinegar tang into all of the meat.

Not to mention that the ancestors of all the Latin people, the Romans, ruled the entire known world for centuries and did much to establish the modern principles of law, justice, and civic service.

Exactly. IQ makes academic learning easier but outside academia academic learning is of minimal value. My most employable skill as I seek for a new job is actually closely related to my learning disabilities. I have dyslexia, dyscalcula, and CAPD -- all information processing "disorders" due to my brain not being wired in the standard fashion. Because I literally think differently than a normal person I can easily do things normal people find difficult like read technical drawings and turn them into real items, seamlessly switch from measuring in English to measuring in metric and back, not only run but trouble-shoot and do routine maintenance on 12 different models of commercial, lockstitch sewing machines, and other such things.
