| sapphi_snake said: I knew that, I read Gone with the Wind. ;-P And considering what I heard about the South, I'm not surprised at all you guys have terrible education (you guys don't even tach evolution in schools, no? and you have abistence-only "sex ed", no?) I'm curious, since we're on this particular forum topic, which book would you say illustrated the best how slavery where you lived: Uncle Tom's Cabin or Gone with the Wind? Do you have any connection to slave owners? How really bad is the religious intolerance and homophobia over there? Why were Southerners Democrats in the past, and why are they now Republicans? |
I am not well versed about slavery most likely due to poor edumacation here. My ancestors did own slaves though. There is very little religious tolerance. In fact not that long ago, there was a mosque being built around where I live, and people burned a ton of its equipment. Homophobia is the norm where I live. Religion is a humongous part of culture, seeing as I am in the "Bible Belt". The south is full of Democrats btw. The difference is (at least in my state) that we vote democrats for state/county/city positions(governor,mayor, etc.) and Republicans for federal positions(senators, president).
