What I dont know about New York could fill several national libaries, but that doesnt change that I know the statue of liberty is there.
Thats pritty much a common excuse by now.
There arent many statues of famed and successful US generals who massacred native Americans are there?
The US has a national concience and a sence of historic responsibility, but the south doesnt.
Oh I am sure that they built a state for him during a time when blacks were lynched and segregated because of that speech.
Not....
"The Indians are a race of savagry ho believe in an ill and savage religion" - Winston Churchill.
With many historical figures their personal beliefs and actions are not as important to greater modern society than their legacy.
Even if that legacy is not what the person intended it to be.
What I dont know about the South could fill a libary, what I know about it is enought to conclude that is not a decent place and it`s inhabitans are by in large an indecent people.
How come news stories about racism, hate crimes and historic revisionism always come from the South?
Is it because the entire world doesnt understand the South or because the South uses that line as an excuse for being in contempt with modernety since 1864?
Your views on the South are just as ignorant, unfounded and hateful as the views of any other bigot about a culture or people of which he has no experience.
You just picked a "safe" target.... southern rednecks... exhibiting a bully-like cowardly tendency to seek out someone they can abuse which won't result in the kind of public censure that would follow if you attacked, say blacks or Jews or something.
Don't know why I bother responding to such drivel, frankly.
