We used to have saying, "there's down south and then there is up south."
One of Martin Luther King's scariest moments wasn't in Alabama but Chicago, and who can forget Stanley Forman's Pulitzer winning photograph of an African American lawyer being stabbed in Boston by a white man protesting school desegregation.
Too many times in the past so many people have deemed it only as a southern problem. Well guess what? It isn’t. I get very tired of the hypocrisy.
It's never been a southern problem. When I went to college here over 30 years ago Nashville had interracial couples. I also visited a friend's home and there were whites and blacks on her block.
Now in LI NY where I owned my second home, there was not one black on my part of town. They had a seperate area for them, and that was in 1982. When the house prices went up, whites moved into the other part of town because it was more affordable. Houses there was simular to the side I lived, not inferior.
I think the north is more racial. I am from NY/NJ but moved to Nashville 2 years ago, where I went to college.
Obama in my book though is not just black, I think he has Arab blood. Look at his face closly. Also his wife is extremly prejudice .

I thnik mtasht htios campaign showed the negatives that exist in all races. Actaully others than monrities got to question the racist remarks of monrities and it opend alot of eyes not just mouths. Thsi was just in the denocratic nomination race too.

I agree, black against white racism is a serious problem in this country.
Yeah, boy, if McCain wins we'll have our 44th white President......that will be a great step toward equality for that oppressed minority.....
