Re: The More I read About the US of A....
You should know about less educated BJ. The party of Lincoln may have freed the slaves; but, ever since the Democrats under Johnson passed civil rights legislation the party playing to the latent racism of the unreconstructed south has been the Republicans. Election after election they play the not too subtle race card in any area of the country they believe poor, dumb whites such as yourself can be whipped into a frenzy about protecting their white heritage. I'm from a working class white background and the only thing threatening my heritage is the destruction of the basic liberties supposedly guaranteed in the Constitution and defended by the blood, sweat, and tears of my ancestors.
