Where did you find that has no racism, hatred, or discrimination?
I've seen more Rebel Flags in Fresno and in North Minneapolis than I have seen in the whole state of Arkansas.
My comments were NOT about the absence of racism and hatred.
You will find those anywhere you go.
My comment was about those here on DU who try to keep a dead War alive,
and where they live,
and somehow blame the South for all the racism & bigotry.
The Civil War is OVER.
It ended over 150 years ago.
The South LOST.
Racism and hatred live on,
and is not limited to The South US. (SEE: Middle East)
Racism, FEAR, and hatred were here long before there was a South.
THAT is what we should be fighting,
not some ancient War that was over long ago.
I assume you are aware that the US fought a War of Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing against the native Americans? Now THAT War isn't over yet.
The few remaining Native Americans are still in their internment camps.
Lets do something about THAT.
