>> Or the black chain gangs that ran until 1the 1930;'s where African Americans were arrested for nothing and SOLD to plantations.

I'm not sure where you heard that nonsense but it sounds unlikely to me. My dad told me about seeing a lynching in the 1920s as a child. And when I grew up in the 60s I witnessed a number of extreme racist events. But these were exceptions, not the rule. And today, the second looks at interracial couples are long gone; no one is thinking about the laughing barrels of Greenville, MS, or the "Colored Entrances" for businesses. These are things of a very distant past.

So, when have you been to the South? What qualification do you have to discuss the south in such terms as you have?
