Reply #19: Dean got it right about educating those folks and was jumped on [View All]

[vetwife]

in one of the debates and I was for Clark not Dean but Dean got it right. I am from the red red state of Ga. Dean said to educate those folks who vote against their best interest. You know the ones.
The confederate flag carrying, bigoted, I am a republican because my Daddy was and my Mama was. The truth is that most of these folks only know what is shown on Faux news. They never even realize that there was a Civil Rights movement and resent what they heard when they integrated. Now they are all up in the air about the Latinos. I am saying DEAN had it right. When you ask a person down here why are you displaying that confederate flag on your vehicle, "The answer is always the same" I am honoring my folks who was in the civil war. As if that was something to be proud of. Go to Stone Mountain and see whose face is carved on the mountain? Jefferson Davis and all the rebels ! Don't kid yourself bigotry and racism is very high in the south. Go to any white church and count black attendance. Go to any school and see the Dixie outfitters clothes.
Come down here and see how many times you hear the N word in one day.
I am telling you. There has to be some integration allright but it needs to be from those who voted blue to come on down and and out here and get the south on the right track. Edwards and Sharpton got mad over Dean's statement. HE WAS RIGHT. We can't educate all of the bigots and they are NOT all in the south but predominately more open about it. Get some blue voters to start moving South and trust me it will be hard and run for office and lets start turning things around because we blue voters in a Red state are already marked as who we are. We need integration allright ! We need progressive people to help us retake the South.


Go Rent Ghosts of Mississippi and Norma Rae and you got a pretty good picture of the problem.
