I recognize this and do not see how that many could possibly deny the presence of the aforementioned mentality in the south.



So the eye for an eye mentality is not universal and only common to the south?!
Look, this thread isn't about doing anything to Cowherd or ESPN, I don't care. It's about why certain slights get attention, boycotting, picketing, etc. and other ones are just, meh?
What if Cowherd had said," all southern blacks love their fried chicken?" Would that have garnered a different backlash?

Alexis de Tocqueville, a neutral French observer, mentioned in Democracy in America that the North was superior to the south in every way.

I wonder if Cowherd would describe the people of Ferguson as," eye for an eye" types?
