63. True.. the segregationists specifically revived its usage, but
there was a mass "promotion" of their nonsense. Probably every town in the south had their share of bigots, but they got "permission" to do it, because they got coverage of their "events", and all the extra attention only helped attract other loonies to join in..

How you get rid of them?? I don't know.. The shame is that young people join them and keep them viable.. I do not live in the south, so I don't know what schools teach about the civil war, but if these young (mostly guys) are being taught that it's ok to do this, I don;t know when it will end..

Racist republicans have mastered the "codespeak" and are very slick in their interpretation of so many things.. I feel for the ordinary people down there who just want a decent life for themselves and their families.. It must be difficult when the magnifying glass is dragged out because of a few loonies who refuse to live in the current..
