fwiw, there are LOTS of those PREJUDICED "useful idiots" in the north = i KNOW about that as i was stationed up there with the US Army.

I can vouch for this, I was stationed at an Air Force base in North Dakota and that area had more racists than you can shake a stick at - I always hear people (liberals) bitch about the South and how racist it is, when the fact is, there are plenty of racist idiots all over the place (and I've seen less racism/prejudice in the South than I've seen up north).

There are racist idiots allover, but I never saw a “colored only” drinking fountain until I traveled to the south...

YEP. when i was stationed "up there" i had a BN CDR (from MA) who told me that he had always believed that EVERYONE in dixie was stupid, uneducated,socially inferior & if they were not those things that they would leave the south forever.

he seemed fascinated that i was educated, well-dressed & intelligent. ---fwiw, it was REALLY hard not to tell him what i truly thought of him but they court martial service-members who say those things (no matter how TRUE) to superior officers.

fwiw, SOME of the most hate-FILLED, ignorant BIGOTS & ANTISEMITES that i ever met in 28 years of combined armed service were DAMNyankees.
