Black people don't like the word Dixie.

It is merely a regional designation, like calling the upper midwest the "Great Lakes region." That the term "Dixie" should be considered offensive just goes to show you that, as Rogers and Hammerstein explained, "you have to be carefully taught."

Very nicely phrased!
Thank you!

WKB, I know you don't need this reminder.
I just wanted to make sure you saw it.

devolve, I love Elvis, but I love R & H, too!
Do you think you could do something with this?
