Students at a suburban high school calling inner city kids "monkeys", tweeting confederate flags. These people make a bad name for all the good people across the South.

Oh, wait.

quote:

The Class AA semi-finals game happened Thursday night at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. Top-seeded Mount Vernon won 43-40.
Mount Vernon’s team is made up mostly of black players.
After losing, one Mahopac fan took to Twitter, posting a picture of a confederate flag. There are even claims someone pulled out an actual flag at the game.

another student identified on Twitter as MikeHeinzinger remarked, “tough loss boys, but at least we can talk to our dads about it.”



White Plains - that's in the Mississippi Delta, right?

I always said the racism was worse in the North than on the South. The South, to a great degree, over grew that. Does South Boston ring a bell?

Oh I agree, but if this happened in Mississippi it would be national news.

There are racists all over the country, I bet you couldn't walk down Crenshaw BLVD in Los Angeles without being called a "honky" or " cracker". Stop trying to say this shite only exists in the South.

There was an old saying during de-seg in the 60s. Went something like this "White people in the South like blacks as individuals but not as a group. White people in the North like blacks as a group but not as individuals."

Boston was a good example. Whites in Boston called people in the South racist. But they held on to opposing de-seg longer than any city in the South.

Obama and Holder have ushered in a new era of racial harmony; set the bar high for racial equity and high standards from the top to the bottom.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sew the wind...reap the whirlwind.

The media never strays away from a stereotype.

Is her statue still sitting there waiting for her boyfriend? I've visited it many times. She should have just 'moved on.'

It should be; it's a real problem.

An Alabama statehouse abortion debate Tuesday moved from the realm of reproductive rights to race when one Democratic representative said the state’s Republican lawmakers would make “their daughter have an abortion” if she were impregnated by a black man.


The most racist and sexist people usually wind up being Democrats.

Nope, the racism is the same, it's the hypocrisy that's worse in the North.
