Alabama school district sued for racial segregation of students

[Katie]

Leo, have you ever even been in the South? In Alabama or Georgia? Most people down here most certianly are not racists or prone to racist behavior. Sure, their are dumb a$ses here just like everywhere else, but I don't think it is more accepted here. Or more widespread.

The two most racist people I have ever met in my life were from the midwest and the northeast. The most racially segregated area I've ever seen in my life was in California.

I think how that city handles their school system is idiotic. The prom thing was stupid too, but that was not an institutional policy. Proms in that city were put on privately. Not by the school. Just by the comments I can tell that it furthers a stereotype that all southerners are racist or accepting of racist behavior or that we prefer segregation. It simply is not true. But we still have to suffer for the sins that happened nearly 50 f*cking years ago.

Don't assume sh!t about a whole area of the country if your only experience is TV movies and spotlights on random ignorant behavior.
