It's a rural/ poor/ class kinda thing. Not a Southern thing.

We have our share of bigoted rednecks here in the South for sure, and folks in the North love to wag fingers at them.

I would tell you that the most bigoted people I ever mey lived in the Boston area and in the suburbs of NYC. (used to live there).

Okay, I get the Southern thing...but that still doesn't explain how for 31 years they had never had an integrated prom in a PUBLIC High school.

The fact is they apparently tried integration for the first time in 2002. 2002, not 1972 or 1982, or even 1992. Talk about Time Warp.

Someone should have O'Reilly get with the Congressional Black Caucus and explain why that is allowed on our tax dime. Isn't this a private club in Washington, DC?
