...or Montgomery, Alabama where Rosa Parks started the bus boycott, or Little Rock, Arkansas where Orval Faubas tried to prevent African American children from attending public school, because these places are now strongholds of African American culture despite your ignorant postulation that the American south is entirely racist...
BTW - that obviously referred to eatmyignorance and not Kirksey.

It doesn't matter if you actually share the views - as long as you propagate the rhetoric you are propagating the stereotype. As long as there is some teenage moron who laughs at this, there will be another idiot that gets told the joke, and another idiot who believes it. Racism and racist propaganda shouldn't be allowed to be spread in a community that includes people who might feel that it is an attack on them.

Originally posted by kirksey957That was sort of my point - the places that were racists biggest strongholds are now places where you find the greatest support and understanding of black culture.

Originally posted by st00p1dfac3Bringing stereotypes out in the open is completely different from propagating them. I see it as a stab at the people propagating them, and if it's funny, it's because those stereotypes are so ridiculous.
