re: #447 DaddyG

Everone’s a little bit racist sometimes.

O.K. that’s a humorous bit from Avenue Q - but in reality racism isn’t more prevelant to one region, country or even race. The southern Poverty Law Center map shows a frightening distribution throughout the country and among a diverse set of groups. If they did an international map you would find even more scary divisions.

My earlier point wasn’t that it doesn’t exist, only that I hate to see Southerners all portrayed as closet Klansmen.

The strawman that Robert Stacy McCain is busily constructing is that all southerners are being tarred with the racist brush. In reality he has made some extremely racist, bigoted statements. Now he’s throwing up a lot of dust and trying to hide behind the rest of the South to avoid being called on his own personal bigotry.
