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.

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.

I too live in the South, and have all my life and I know something of the issues you bring up. I dont care if you are purple with green polkadots, People are people. However, There is no such thing as a "White college fund" or a White college. Some of the Rednecks dont know what the rebel flag does to others, but others need to realize that the flag is part of our heritage and doesnt necessarily mean hatred or ignorace.
I am not prejudice either, I hate all people equally. But musicains, I love.
