Reply #57: hmm suppose which part of the South and which part of the North

[Proud liberal Kat]

I went to school in Virginia and was really pretty shocked with the amount of racism and sexism there. I am from RI and have lived here all my life other than that one year in Virginia. I can't claim to know the whole South or it's level of civil rights or about the whole North. I would definitely reject the sweeping generalization that "the North" should learn from "the South". In my small experience I wouldn't want my corner of the North to be learning anything about how to deal with racial and gender issues from the small corner of the South I lived in for a year. Other than that I wouldn't try to say much.

I also go with the other poster, what the heck is the South. What does Virginia have to do with Texas?
