If the Red Neck is such a caricature, then how do you explain, the country had to force the south to desegregate in 1964?

Though often not officially sanctioned the North had their on segregation, especially schools. Also they would not sell homes to blacks, etc. I know my father was from New York and I have relitives in the north and the south. The most racist person in our family was a doctor from New York.

Or that Mississippi comes in last in high school graduations?

It's that darn Yankee english they teach now. LOL. But have you noticed that some of the best schools are around the Atlanta area? Rich urban areas tend to have better public schools. Same in the north, just not as many urban areas.

NOt too mention, the south is solid Red filled with flks who listen to Beck and Palin who have the minds of high school kids.

That is just good common sense. Something you could use plenty of.
