Race relations have always been better in the South than in the North except when interefering Yankees were down here stirring up trouble

You mean, causing trouble by demanding that blacks be given the vote and be allowed all the same rights as white people?

I can see how that would lead Southerners to start lynching.......

Wow, I just found this thread and am amazed! Are we still fighting the civil war? That is really fascinating..I went to Charleston SC on business/pleasure and was absolutely charmed by it--but as a Yankee I was somewhat taken aback by the abundance of Confederate flags on the beautiful homes in the city. I am not used to seeing that; up north, if a yankee is sporting the stars and bars, he usually has a race issue. But I was told it was not like that in Charleston, it has to do with southern pride, not race. Trying not to sound like Rodney King here, but can we stick together against the common enemy who doesn't care if you're Billy Yank or Johnny Reb--the islamic hordes who will kill all of us if they could?

please explain to me why the arrogant, ignorant, mean-spirited damnyankees think it's perfectly OK for northern schools to be segregated by race NOW, but were so interested in desegregating southern schools in the 1950-1965 period.

FYI, new england has more segregated schools in 2004 than ALL of dixie did in 1950.

don't you think that makes ya'll look like the HYPOCRYTES that we KNOW you are??? aren't you ASHAMED of that FACT???

should we send you some FREEDOM RIDERS to help desegregate YOUR northern schools???
