We keep hearing about the New South….a South where race is only a memory and industry is changing the face and the thinking of Southerns……(pause here for thought)……..would you like my opinion of that crap? Too bad….you gonna get it anyway……
I live in the cultural wasteland known as Mississippi……we have the mouth of the South…Haley Barbour who champions the New South at almost every turn…he is the governor of the State and the past head of the RNC…..but he fails to mention situations like this one….
The Justice Department accused the Walthall County School District in rural Mississippi of annually permitting more than 300 students, most of them white, to transfer to a school outside of their residential area, shifting its racial makeup.
Further, administrators at three other schools grouped most of the white students into their own classrooms “resulting in significant numbers of segregated all-black classrooms at each grade level,” the U.S. government said in a court filing.
The case comes in a state that was at the heart of the U.S. civil rights movement in the 1960s. In 1964, three civil rights workers were murdered in Mississippi, an incident that helped prompt Congress to pass a law banning racial segregation in schools, work and public places.
I am sick of hearing these politicos tell me how far the South has come from its racist past….it is totally BS….it is as racist now as it ever was…….stop lying!
