Why the White South Is Still in Denial About Slavery | Tea Party and the Right | AlterNet

Seriously? F the South.

I have lived in Texas, worked in almost every southern state. They fly a flag celebrating treason, still call elderly black men "boy" and have taken a serious look at treating (mostly) undocumented brown folks into either felons or slave labor. Or both. And most of the latter has happened in earnest just this year in states like Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina.

So, yeah, this article speaks to that syndrome. That sickness. That unspoken sin carried by anyone who still believes in racial hatred or just quietly lets in hang like an evil fog just outside their front doors.
