Being a hillbilly from the mountains of western North Carolina. Part of the problem i see and have seen around here is the awfull and painfull predudice.

All these holier than thou's around here talk of predudice and racial slander. It just happens to be ok with them to make fun of poor rural white folks.

We are backwards, inbred, religious whacko's who rape our sisters and daughters in many minds, and it is often said here. It really grieves me at times as i see the administration here seems quite allright with it.

But what would happen if i(or others) began to make disparaging and sterotypical remarks about blacks, jews, arabs, asians, or gays . I would be removed thats what would happen. The double standard continues, and poor rural folks like myself will be trashed, while things said about other races, or groups will not be tolerated.

If you would just take the time and effort to actually be fair with southern rurals you would see a large increase in their participation in your party.

It's not that we or most of us have anything against anyone of any race. The point is that the Democratic party is seen as anti-south, and any of the party membership do not help.

Why should we vote for a party that so disrespects us? <<<<Thats why you cant win in the South. A little respect would go long way, but sadly many in your party would just as soon give up on us altogether, now what does that message send?
