Yea, there are plenty of racism in the South. However, I have always notice that is usually comes from a poor education - compared to Mississippi's record, Alabama isn't as harsh. This is nothing more than amateur philosophy but I believe people are a product of their environment. Not to get to the level of Meme gene, but people are influenced by their forefathers. Then again, when the KKK started burning cross's, people of Christian faith where not happy, but also did not want to be tortured by some emotionally baggage, brainwashed, psycho! All that changed when they blew up a black church in Birmingham. Since then their numbers have been dropping off each generation. Hence the reason they have lowered "their standards" to doing ridiculous talk shows, and even allowing long hair white guys with, or without, earrings to join - something they would never allow unless they where disparate for people.

P2Ping his material.
