I posted DU's MLK/Paula Deen graphic on FB.

Hilarity ensues. Many of my Florida friends jumped all over my shit, and DU's. No one actually refuted the poll results, just made nasty comments about me and "demon rat underground." Gosh...the south is still racist? Who'd have imagined?

5. On my first trip to Florida as a small boy...

We hadn't moved there yet. I drove down with my grandparents to visit my aunt & uncle who lived in Cocoa Beach. I-95 wasn't completed yet. You had to take Route 20 through parts if Georgia. My parents packed my travel bag. My grandparents loved this awesome new restaurant called McDonalds, and we stopped a couple of times and ate lunch in the car. I sprawled out on the big rear window deck of the massive Chevy and read the only book my parents packed for me...a biography of Martin Luther King.

6. the south is still racist, sure, because the south is part of AMERICA

which is still racist from shore to shore. As is, to be honest most of the world.

Its just before the internet most people felt some shame voicing racist remarks outside of their small circles.

8. so true and welcome to du--shit that sounded poetic

as long as you are not a public figure

9. They keep responding. It's scary.

It's all Jessie and Al's fault. Has anyone seen Mr. Jackson on tv lately? I haven't.
