All that you said has considerable truth to it.Yet I agree with Zionist.
I grew up in California in the 1950’s,way before affirmative action,hip hop,aggressive blacks,Jesse Jackson,urban riots or any of the other modern maladies infecting the black community today.
Yet it was agreed almost across the board that”niggers”were inferior to “us”.They belonged on THEIR side of town and we whites were to have NO social or cultural contact with them.They were there as maids and hired help.That was their”place”.End of story.
A lot has changed for the better since those days.Yet the mentality of the rural white Appalachian folk seems very similiar to my California upbringing of over fifty years ago.

Thanks for the back-up, Riverman. I've often been mistaken for a racist on this site, but I never expected to be mistaken for an apologist for Black leftism!

I believe in many ways the "southern racism" (so-called) of the most hateful variety was actually a post-slavery creation. Certainly the ante-bellum South thought Blacks were inferior, but it most certainly did not hate them. It fought a war to keep them, and you don't fight a war to keep something you hate!

The post-Reconstruction jim crow days were in many ways much worse than slavery. For one thing, it was slavery in everything but name. For another, at least as official owners of their slaves the masters actually had to care for their slaves just as they cared for their other property. During jim crow Blacks had all the responsibilities of slaves but no one had any responsibility to give a flip about them. The wealthy whites who had previously scorned poor whites (and taught their slaves to look down on them, an attitude still present in the Black community today) suddenly made the poor whites their partners, and the one thing they had in common was skin color. These were the years of "southern populism," which was both fanatically racialist and borderline socialist.

My whole point has been that America's poor Blacks and poor whites (of the Anglo-Celtic variety, anyway) are basically mirror reflections of each other. They have the same language, same accent, same dialect, same religion, same socio-economic status, same educational status--everything. Yet there is a hostility between the two groups that, much as I would like to blame it totally on modern leftism, sadly transcends that.

Believe me, I am mad as ned at Blacks who get to be fanatical rightwing (African) nationalists, anti-white segregationists, and chr*stian fundamentalists (in style if not in substance) and have every one of those things excused by liberals who cite those very things as the "reasons" they don't like poor whites. Heck, the Commies for a while advocated that Blacks move to the Deep South and secede from the Union (what does that sound like???) But all this did not create poor white hostility. It was already there. And much of it that is still there has nothing whatsoever to do with the Black community's rotten political alliances and proclivities.

Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to admit that most poor white creationists are racists? How in the name of sam hill does monogenistic creationism authorize or even harmonize with racism? It doesn't! Of course, neither does atheistic evolutionism provide a logical basis for anti-racist crusades, however much loud-mouthed atheist creationists act as if it did. We've got two positions here, neither of which make any sense whatsoever!!!

Perhaps the most poignant and telling similarity between the two communities is that each is backed by a group of elitist intellectuals who have absolutely nothing in common with them (Blacks have Ivy League liberals, poor whites have the Jared Taylors and Sam Francis's, neither of whom probably ever lived in a trailer or interpreted the Bible literally in their entire lives). The relationship of each elitist group to the group it "supports" is identical--rich high-@$$ed intellectuals have seized on a group with which they have absolutely nothing in common as an icon on which to project their own fantasies.

G-d help us all. The entire world is crazy.
