Of course many, not all white folks from that state and other states in the South are or were racist Eliot Rosewater Feb 2019 #10

I believe that Northam has evolved. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #12

Yep!!! And the southern democrats jumped ship when Johnson signed the civil rights act. In fact, RKP5637 Feb 2019 #27

And they stayed. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #28

I think racism for many is a core value and hard to shake ... and often they get their racism RKP5637 Feb 2019 #32

Learned in childhood. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #33

Read my post bpj62 Feb 2019 #40

Ok....where? theboss Feb 2019 #58

Good question, and I don't know the answer, but he is certainly not the first Squinch Feb 2019 #59
