Little if any of it.

Kudos.... *not everybody is that open minded..... or grasps (or wants

.... I think you need to have spent some time in the deep South to get
it....

I did, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee but I am not sure if that is
considered the Bible Belt. I ran into folks like that down there, but
not in fringe churches, but mostly KKK.

Actually a lot of northern states have higher numbers per capita of
KKK members than many southern states.

Could be, they are just more open about it down there. Asked a buddy of
mine in Ala where he would rather live, back in NJ, or in Ala, in
relation to prejudice. He said Alabama, "at least down here when a man
is a bigot, he will tell you when you walk in the door, so you don't
have to waste your time with him". "Up north, you don't know till it's
too late"...- Hide quoted text -

Believe it or not, where I lived in western NY, in the sticks, the
people there are FAR more bigoted than they are here in the south. I
think the reason is that there are so few minorities there that they
just don't know anything about them, and we all know that ignorance
can easily breed bigotry.

Yup. Me and a bud spent part of a summer with his cousins at a logging
camp in Maine. There were guys up there that had never seen a black man,
and they were asking all kinds of questions. This was in the late
70's...

My father once owned the biggest logging operation in the northeast.
