“The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans.”

Of course it hasn’t. There was a time when it wasn’t but that was a long time ago.

That was back when the South wasn't the friendliest place for Republicans either. Lester Maddox was a democrat, George Wallace was a democrat, Bull Conner was a democrat, Bull Conner's dogs were democrats, every Ku Kluxer who ever soiled a sheet was a democrat. The Klan was the muscle arm of the democrat party, and about a quarter of the lynching victims were white, often white Republicans lynched for being too helpful to would-be black voters. If Little Miss Mary wants to bring up the history, bring it on.
