I live in the deep South (for those who live in the U.S., you know what I'm talking about). Racisme is something I have had to deal with every day of my 24 years on this earth. I don't concider myself racist or prejudice, mainly for the fact that I don't judge anybody by the color of their skin. A person can't help what race they're born into. Where I live it's mostly an issue of black and white. Down here you have your "rednecks" who wave their Confederate flag with pride, but really know nothing about it's history. We also have our "(I'm not even going to say the name)" that think everybody owe's them something, because they know nothing about history as well. Myself, I have a car tag that has both the American and Confederate flag on it and say's "American by bith, Southern by the grace of God." Enough said! One more issue I have. If the "minorities" are so gunghoe about being equal, then why is it that they're allowed lower ACT/SAT/ or whatever scores to get in a good college than a "non-minority"? Or is that just another "Southern thang ya'll wouldn't understand"....lol.

Please don't take offence to anything I've said. I have been somewhat harden'd by the way's of the "South", and I don't expect anyone to agree, or understand any of my views on anything remotely dealing with this topic.
