    The service is really slow throughout the south. Hard to do volume when the north is
    doing double or triple time compared to them.

    The entire south has a relaxed attitude towards everything, especially a hard day's work.
    Bless their little lazy hearts.

    So? One of the family members I mentioned in my post, above, is black. I have a feeling her educational and income level is a whole lot higher than yours.

    I could work circles around you, boy. It's in your genetics to be a lazy bastard.

    I have a feeling you nor her are willing to provide verifiable proof of that claim. There's a reason. You can't prove what isn't true.

    Now, get to proving you're a coward just like that black family member you mentioned.

    As to the other posts, be specific about what in them is racist.

    So what you're saying is that if you study and work hard Louisiana is a land of opportunity . Imagine that. Not a good place for the lazy . Maybe they should move to California where they get free stuff.
