Ronny, the last time I checked they had black people in the South too. If you use the same stoopid logic, that would automatically make them racists too, wouldn't it? Iow, the whole premise was ridiculous from the git-go, and also not worth worrying about.

T'was the other poster that was implying that I should feel guilty. I don't. I never have.

Did you really say this?

So you mean the many people that were lynched and not allowed to go to the same schools as a certain group of people separated by class are racists? Now if that is what you are saying that is very stoopid logic if you ask me.

There is an old saying called "up south and down south." Many of the very same things that happen in the south took place in the north. The main difference is that many people of color could not do many things in the south based on grandfather laws and segregation. The south gets a bad rap when some of the very same racist acts took place in the north all the time and many blacks were not legally segregated in the more industrial north.
