The most racist people in America are rich white Northeastern liberals like John Kerry and Ted Kennedy.

I was astounded, when we moved to MA, to discover that a new friend of mine had never even MET a black person until she went off to college in the early 70's! I couldn't even imagine that! I was in Catholic grade school in MS in the early 60's, and there were black kids in my class!

We moved out of the South in 1980, first to Indiana, then NJ, and then MA. I don't think I've ever seen as much racism in MS as I've seen in the North. It's not only white/black up here, it's a lot of ethnic stuff; Polish-German; French-Irish, etc. Just amazing!
