The Antisocial Socialist

well, I'm not in a position to know, honestly, having spent less than a month in the south in my life.

And it is true that the increasing number of horrible stories of overt violent racism I'm hearing are coming from the south.

I do think it's important to notlet the extremity of what goes on in the south to lull us into a false sense of safety or a false sense of the north having made really good progress, though.

I just watched a movie calle d"freedom on my mind" aobut the civil rights struggle in Mississippi, and I couldn't help but think, you know, a lot of those racist whites depicted in the film are still alive, and you can't tell me they changed their minds or that they didn't pass that shit to their children.
