What planet am I on, you ask?

I am on planet Earth. Thanks for asking.

"as far as the American people are concerned, my (always) conservative guess is somewhere between 4% and 6% - which is probably low. There are more than that number of Southerners alive who adamantly supported segregation and Jim Crow laws. If you want to count a few, start with the Senator from WV."

Concerning your "guess" that 4-6% of those os us who actually live here in the USA are "racist facists", what is the basis for your "guess"?

I get out quite a bit. I live in Virginia (suburban Washington, DC). I travel to Pennsylvania and Ohio a lot. I visit my family in Nebraska two or three times a year. I visit other family members in Oklahoma once a year. I've been in all but four of the 50 states.

And I would never -- never -- suggest that anywhere near 4% of the people living here are "racist facists".

I consider it a rather grave insult to me and my countrymen to suggest that 4% of us are racist facists.

"I consider it a rather grave insult to me and my countrymen"

I guess you are gravely insulted then; wrong, but gravely insulted.

PS A grammatically correct phrase would have read "my countrymen and me" or perhaps in your special case, "my kin and me".
