Ray loves to josh and he mixes it into his wonderful "stream of consciousness" writing. (He doesn't like my describing it that way.) I enjoy it. Keith has been a bit affronted, apparently but, bless him, he made his point like a gentleman.
My problem in England was that I didn't speak proper. I was a working class product. Then, I spent several years in the Liberal Party, where I was positively engulfed by Oxbridge and Edinburgh types.
So, being somewhat luckier than someone with an unchangeable colorless face, I learned to speak proper - or my version of proper.

I was responding more to Keith's remarks.
More and more I am coming back to the notion of separate but equal as one way to deal with racial divisions. But this time it is for real.
Note that I too have known discrimination and hatred. I too have been able to blend into the larger society. Cordell is an all American name. My father thought it would give us a better chance in the anti-semitic society he lived in when he changed the family name from Cohen to Cordell.
