South-bashing

19. From What I Can Tell

These days, save a few actual liberal bastions, all of the things that make the South laughable, have spread to nearly all of the States. Prejudice is everywhere, ignorance runs rampant, and Republicans are making footholds in many middle to northern States, that were once solid liberal bastions. White cops shoot black children for relatively lame offenses all over the U.S., so no different there, as little Klansmen seem to be being raised up everywhere.

Like Pitt, I was born in Mississippi, lived in Alabama most of my life, and I'm about as liberal as anyone. It has more to do with being smart, and doing this thing called "thinking," about whether I agreed with convention, with traditions--believe me, there are plenty of stupid traditions everywhere. Stupidity runs rampant--just clips of "Housewives of New Jersey," or wherever, will tell you that.

So understand, there are good people, and bad people everywhere. I'm from here, so I know a lot of us end up being stupid. But wherever you are, look around you, because it seems to be spreading.
