re: #395 Lidane

You must be in the South. I heard that a lot back in Houston. “Ah don’t know why blacks can’t just get over it. I didn’t own slaves!” was the standard bigot talking point explaining why talking about race = race baiting = being a Bad American, because we need to just get over things now that the Civil and Voting Rights Acts exist.

Nope. That attitude is pretty widespread in places well beyond the South. I’ve heard it in multiple places in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, and a few other states north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
