I may be prejudice, but...
this is just wrong

Why I don't live in Georgia

for those of you to lazy to check the link, basically this school makes a big deal out of inter-racial proms! The kids at this school are having an all white prom, after having the first ever inter-racial prom only last year!

Am I that ignorant? This is stupid. Only last year?

My god, these Georgia kids are racist scum and need to be Beach slapped! And this coming from me; I am prejudice, but segregation? Man, I am so freakin' ignorant?!

Well, you see, this is the conservative type of "moral equivalency": by calling racists racists you yourself are being prejudicial, thus you can't question ever whether someone is racist.....

To the rest of the US, the South is like that embarassing relative that you don't want anyone to know is related to you.

The South is pathetic because so many of its people are still trapped in 19th century.

Ah, I see you've never been to Camden .

And Jersey City actually looking decent these days, but it is tainted by being in the Northeast, industrial part of state.

The 'real' state is the horse farms in the Northwest and Central Jersey (where Steve Forbes is from), the shore on the Southeast part, and the cranberry bogs and plentiful farms (2nd in production for tomatoes, blueberries in the country) in the Southwest.

As for the Watergate thing I'm guessing hes saying what a Democrat would say about M Lewinsky?

Yes, I was paraphrasing.
Clearly, they were supporting the "gov'nor".
And your analysis of the Watergate point is dead on.

imran, i don't think we count.

truth be told, i remember atlanta being very different when i was a young'un, and now, when i'm a youthful adult.

atlanta, florida, and pretty much most other major cities in the south don't qualify as southern... we got too many of those damn yankee carpetbaggers.
