Reply #279: this is an important issue

I too see the judgmental attitudes based on income and social status in college towns and upscale suburbs among liberals.

On the other hand, in rural areas I see people pulling together to help each other and being much more tolerant in many ways then people are in suburbia.

There are cultural differences.

Dick Gregory made the best comment on this difference, comparing the racism in the South to that in the North. "In the South they don't care how close I get, so long as I don't get too big. In the North they don't care how big I get, so long as I don't get too close."

Northern liberals love to point the finger and look down on others, but they are blind to their own prejudice. In fact, I think that being able to feel superior and point fingers at others is the attraction of liberalism for too many people.
