I want to talk frankly about the south hate here

[Uncle Joe]

169. Statistically speaking, you aid those you claim to despise the most when you describe a region

of the United States consisting of at least over a third of the population as being "enemy" territory.

The job of those string puller PTBs; who would divide the nation along, regional, racist, gender, religious, secular or cultural divisions for poltical power purposes is made all the easier by the demonization of the peoples' sense of home, cultural slight and magnification of differences.

If you want to find division, one need only look for it and the same holds true for unity.

You can't hug your brother or sister with one arm while pushing them away with the other.

If you truly want the South or any region for that matter to get better, that should be the focus, getting better, commonalities and not the red state, blue state, dog whistle B.S.

Otherwise you are playing in to the hands of the Karl Rove types; they thrive on divide and conquer, it's all they know.
