I believe it is a race thing, but not racism. I would liken it to any black brotherhood movement in which their is security in numbers.<br /><br />I believe that a mindset has entered the typical "white" middle class person that they need be on a defensive. Brought forth and perpetuated by the class warfare political tool.<br /><br />It is a response to the divisiveness that was created as soon as victim classes became a subsidized block.<br /><br />I would never defend it because I believe the message for most comes across as racist, but as frustration grows it takes on those characteristics and lends itself to those that would prey upon their fears.<br /><br />This politician was playing to that disaffected demographic and should be ashamed.<br /><br />Conservatism can grow, but with Republican stupidity it seems miraculous to continue in such a manner. Despite their best efforts, if the message stays clear and violence and division remains a tool of the left, we will be okay.spchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006172249759977864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-53950428422007136022010-04-08T21:35:56.750-04:002010-04-08T21:35:56.750-04:00I think it's a stupid decision.. why not a &qu...I think it's a stupid decision.. why not a "Souther Cultural Heritage Day" that celebrates all the really good things about the South (yes, dear ones there are many good things about the South), such a culture, assimulation, family values, food, dedication, devotion, honesty, regional differences/additives).

I'm not one who is easily offended, either. I don't have a "raaaacism radar detector", seeing bigotry everywhere and in everything. I don't go around with a suspicious mind and behave mistrustfully of the motives of others, whatever their ethnicity.
