Covington Catholic School has been in the news before. From one month earlier.

18. Do not tell me to STFU.

KY may not have declared itself a Confederate state but it was a slave state where slavery didn't die easily. It took KY until 1976 to ratify the 13th amendment. The KKK was quite active in KY after the war and still is.

I am from TN and I grew up in TN and KY. I still regularly visit my family there. I am sad to say the attitudes outside metropolitan cities are very much the same as they were in the 50s and 60s and when I left in the 90s. I still hear the n-word used and I still see segregation.

I do not live and have not lived in all the states you mention other than Oregon. I very regularly bash Oregon outside of Portland and Salem as backwards and racists because it is. I bash Oregon east of the Cascades as little more than Idaho.

I bash the South because it is overwhelmingly stupid and backwards. I know this from living there. I will continue to bash the South and eastern Oregon because I know them on a personal basis.

Do not tell me to STFU on a discussion site. I am not going to. If you have a problem with my posts you are free to post a response, alert, or use the ignore feature.
