Re: Fine. The Klan had little influence in the South and was mainly an extremist group. Why don't you just point to the fact that the KKK was merely the tip of the iceberg --the iceberg of racism and anti-negro hatred in the South?? Racism, segregation and negro-bashing was widespread and taken for granted throughout the Bible belt --it was indeed the South's way of life, not some theoretical, political agenda... Because Tim would consider that hyperbole. In his mind, if you can't prove it factually, then it doesn't exist. In reality, the South is exactly as you describe it above. From time to time, they proclaim its the "New South" but in fact, racism, God, the Bible and Nascar in that order rule the region. ted
