5 Reasons to Stop Talking Sh*t About People From the South and Midwest

[CherokeeDem]

275. I am sorry your experience...

growing up in the South was so difficult. I can understand why you feel the way you do. I was fortunate to have had a better experience as a child growing up in South Carolina. I wish you had as well.

I remember all the things you do and questioned my father why the blacks went into the back of the dime store where they had to sit at a separate counter in the rear. Why they had separate schools, and what is that stone pedestal on the street in Augusta GA? My dad told me it was the place where slaves were tethered and sold at auction. I was eight and that offended my very young soul.

I remember everything you do... the problem is that poverty and undernourished children could be anywhere... Aiken, SC where I was born, the mountains of Eastern Kentucky where my parents were born, or Buffalo, NY or Scottsdale, AZ. I am part Cherokee and I dare you to find a place more horrid than a reservation.

I am sorry that your memories are unhappy. I hope you have found a place where you are happy.
