I've "handled" cultures all over the world. I simply don't like the

Georgia, for example, and has recruitment posters up in rural stores not
far from Atlanta. I don't like the history of lynchings. I don't like
the display of that stupid, disgusting Confederate flag. That sort of
thing.

Most racist bunch I've seen is some ironworkers I hung out with for a
bit in Queens. Won't keep me from going to Queens.
And doesn't make me think less of Queens, just these guys.
Hey, is there still a Queens?

I was going to say that I've witnessed more overt racism in areas up here in
the north than I ever witnessed in the south, including the Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida. I am not talking about the 50's and 60's. I am
talking about now.
