re: #143 Anymouse

I agree that change has to come from the bottom up. Sometimes the bottom needs help from the top.

Democrats tend to use the term “taker state” the same way that Republicans use “taker” to refer to people on assistance: as a slur.

I honestly don’t understand why South Carolina votes the way it does. As I recall from my time there, the minority population is in fact the majority.

I recall an incident from the news where Governor Nikki Haley was making an address, and someone in the crowd yelled at her to “go back to her country.” Nikki Haley is from South Carolina.

I think the incident was someone calling her a derogatory name—oh, and it was a Republican legislator who did it.

The state is about 25-30% African American, and it has been gerrymandered so that the only minority majorty district is Jim Clyburn’s.
