Re: A Southen Issue? NOT!
As a southerner that has lived in the north, I have seen the racism that hides out there.
As soon as they heard my southern accent they seemed to assume I am a racist and felt free to tell me how they really feel.
In Vermont, I was told many times that they were glad they had very few N*****s living there.
Racism is actually more culturalism than anything to do with color.
