I live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and i have been out to gap road several times. the only reason peoples cars move is because the road is slightly slanted downhill. it doesnt look like a downhill slant because if you have your lights off, it makes an optical allusion. so pretty much, gap road is a bunch of bull.

Just because I know some one will land flatfooted on my comments about race. When I speak of being Indian I say “I’m part American/Indian.” So yes, when I refer to myself and my own race, I’m using the same illustrative measures. I’m not a hater of people or religions. Just a clarifacaion of the facts. Jump on another bandwagon.ca

I’ve been out to “****** Gap Road” more times than I can count. Yes, each time the car rolls up hill. I have got to say it’s not much of a hill. I never heard the story about black slaves pushing the car. Having said that, I do know they called has been called “****** Gap Road” for years. Now the kinder, gentler, version is just “Gap Road.” Come to think of it I don’t know why white people are afraid of the word “******.” Black/African American people use it all the time, for instance “****** please”…” My definition isn’t race related at all anyway. To me it means a trashy person (no color implied). Just for the record what do they want to called, Negro is outdated, Black refers to skin color (out), African-American also out. What is the phrase of the day… Heck Black people have thier own network “BET”. Try to start the “WET” (White Entertainment Network) WOW!!! that would cause a comotion. Anyway I’m rambling. I’ve also been to the Labadie Mansion… The “Catman” oh yeah… that’s a story that will get your girlfriend sitting closer for sure…

This has nothing to do with ghosts or roads or hills…I’m tired of White people THAT SAY they are not prejudiced but say Black when describing a person… ya’ll don’t do that when you describe a White person. One time a lady was telling a story in Public and loudly mentioned “The big Black guy” but mentioned no one elses race. Race wasn’t even a point in her story…it had nothing to do with it! just wondering why people do that of ALL races? Non-prejudice people say PEOPLE or A Man not “That Black Man or that White man! Please stop this! it doesn’t make since in 2010!
There aren’t that many full blooded Whites anymore!
