Tom Sowell has written a book, The Black Red Neck, “ (?) Just think of the average black as a kind of half-brother to the Red Neck, no matter where he lives. The irony is that they are so alike in their attitudes, including their anti-intellectualism. I am reminded of that Star Trek episode where the two men, one who is black on one side and white on the other, while in the other the colors are reversed. Race war in the South has always been a struggle for power between peoples who have more in common with each other than northern and southern whites did. Or at least that used to be the case.Lyndon Johnson was a very unpleasant man, but he broke segregation because he knew what it had done to both blacks and whites in the South. It had turned whites into jailers and blacks into inmates, but both were in jail.

Sorry but that post didn’t make any sense and the article you mentioned is “Black Rednecks and White Liberals”.

” It had turned whites into jailers and blacks into inmates, but both were in jail.”

You watch too many movies. And what’s worse you think they’re true.
