What is this american acceptance of bigotry against southern whites? It is the only form of racist discourse still acceptable in this country. Bush did not win because of "rednecks." It is very convenient for Americans to continue to blame all racism, bigotry, and ignorance on the white people of the south.
Most unfortunately, racism, bigotry, and ignorance seem to be endemic in all parts of this country. No geographical area has a monopoy on it. Highly educated Supreme court justices are chomping at the bit to legalize an intolerant theocracy. Highly educated white people across the country are intent on ramming their religious beliefs down all our throats and insisting, ignorantly, that Bush is winning the war on terror. As a matter of fact one of the most "redneck" (sound anything like "redskin" to you?) counties in Tennesee, a place where there is no black population to speak of, a poverty stricken mining rural county, Grundy county, voted for Kerry.
