Reply #28: OK but--the WHOLE country, from sea to shining sea

[marions ghost]

is full of racism, sexism and nastyism. Full as a backed-up septic tank.

Nobody I know defends the confederate flag. It has been taken over as a symbol of hate and that's it. There's no resurrecting it. But what IS harmful is promoting the idea that the South is THE racist, sexist, nastiest part of the country. This is usually the view of Northern urbanites who haven't looked around in their own state very far, much less anywhere else. It's this arrogance and provincial attitude that's the problem.

Intersting how people who think they are speaking out against prejudice ILLUSTRATE how prejudice works.
