re: #430 HappyWarrior

Right and I have to say this, Reagan was a racist. Maybe not in your face like Wallace and the Dixiecrats but more subtle and with a smile. A lot o racial minorities know exactly what kind of man the Gipper really was and it wasn’t just the smiling face that told us about the shining city on the hill. It was of a cynical old racist. Sorry rambling big time here.

Town: Philadelphia Mississippi

Consequential events that happen there that are (somewhat)widely known outside of Mississippi
1. Civil Rights workers killed by KKK, assisted by local/state law enforcement.
2. Ronald RayGun announces Presidential intentions, and in speech the phrase “States Rights” is prominent.

Racial minorities sure connect the dots here. How could you not.
