Well I was raised in suburban Washington D.C. and did not go to school with a African American until the 7th grade when ONE student was sent to Williamsburg Jr. High School. So segregation WAS NOT just a southern thing.

MLK said that the worst hatred he ever saw in any march was in Chicago.

Sterotypes of southern people still abound to this day and probably always will. Just as sterotypes of Northern people abound in the south. < s >

Northern is any place north of Atlanta. < vbg >



Anyway.... to MAIN reason for my response is that the Ga House today passed a bill to modify the state flag. The flag will be blue with the state seal in the middle. Under that will be small replicas of all the flags that have flown over the state. So the current Ga flag will be there. A real compromise! So you see we all are not the backward red-neck racists that we are steortyped to be.
