Maybe, just maybe, there are filthy, worthless pieces of horseshit in all 50 states-even the Golden Land of California...

1. My college roommate and her husband live in San Diego.
He has never been to the south but "knows all about it." Too much TV. He would rail at me about how prejudiced we were about black people and how we were so racist but didn't seem to see any correlation in how he felt about the Mexicans who were cluttering up his city in his view.

3. Don't you just love people who form all their ideas from
television. It makes for such a well-rounded outlook on life.

2. Yes.
I've lived here since 1967. And there have always been blatant racists and bigots of all stripes.

And there are layers to race relations; people who don't care about physical differences often don't tolerate cultural differences.

4. And there are plenty of racists left in my home state of Mississippi, too
but they're not even a strong minority anymore. I worked in a 50/50 mixed office staff for nearly 25 years and you'd be surprised how little racism (overt or covert) existed.

Its not 1965 anymore, even in Mississippi.

5. Chill out buddy, you are supposed to follow the link...
...and check out the website provided. Listen to the audio on the website, and laugh about it.

Now when you do not even bother to look at the content, and then you instantly make up a snippy little post about an obvious parody site, well let's just say you may need to back up a little and take some stuff a little less seriously...

6. Believe me, If you were a liberal from Mississippi
you would be sick and f**king tired of the cheap shots. No, I didn't follow the links. I disgusted with people slamming my home. Its okay to make fun of Mississippi-everybody does it!

Another ignorant, redneck asshole thats supposed to represent my home. Lets just drag that old Mississippi stereotype out and kick it in the balls a few times for sport.

Sorry, you just hit a nerve and I lashed back. Its out of my system now and I WILL get over it

8. We in Tennessee have always said Thank Goodness for Ms.
It seems to be the only state that gets whipped worse than us. I have to watch my knee jerk reaction at times because when you get so used to being dissed you automatically react sometimes when it isn't there. So - know how ya feel there, rowdy.

at getting a ballot initiative signed for the ballot...there was a bill that would have denied all services to undocumented immigrants and they fell short of the sigs they needed.....HAHAHA..YAY!
