(avoided the blizzard in NJ, LOL) Charleston... Savannah... Augusta... Fayetteville... sunny, high 50's, low 60's... anyway...
Lots of black people down there. All of the ones I saw were super nice, polite, lovely people... and that's when it occurred to me... hit me square between the eyes, so to speak, who the real racists are.
Down there, Whites and Blacks treat each other cordially and with respect. I saw no signs of racism whatsoever, and people of both races seemed to feel exactly like I do, which is simply to treat everyone with respect regardless of skin color.... in other words, treat them the way they like to be treated.
The REAL racists are you lily-white yankee liberals sitting in your lily-white enclaves with your lily-white spouses and children. You see SKIN COLOR first, the inner person second... every single time. RACE is important to you, isn't it? It's what you see first when you look at someone, and you instinctively treat the other person accordingly.
Then, you feel guilty for it, as you should. And that's when you call others RACISTS, when in reality, the racist is YOU.
Very, very sad.
