re: #90 windsagio
Well you know all it is, the problem is ‘southern culture’, not ‘all southerners’, its different.
I understand your point, but in fact there was just as much ‘backwardness’ north of the Mason Dixon line.
Recall the busing riots in Boston and Detroit, for example.
Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville for example, are far more integrated today than most cities north of the MD line.
