I'd like to see the proof of a literacy test for blacks that's printed in Chinese. That sounds like urban legend stuff. The other day my wife was telling me that her mother told her about this sign that used to be at the city limits of her hometown in Tennessee. I interrupted and said, "Did it say 'Nigger, don't let the sun set on you in this town'"? (fill in the blank for whatever town you want)." I've heard that about practically every town in the South.

As for the Delta, it's stlll the same way. Poverty is everywhere. But it's getting better since the casinos moved in to Tunica, Ms. But, even with the casinos there are people who live off welfare checks and don't want to go to work. Then there are those who are just not smart enough to do anything else. But what people don't understand is there are whites who live the same way. As a kid I grew up picking and chopping cotton. Hardly anyone picks or chops cotton anymore. It's all done with chemicals and machines. And it was 1964 before we had running water. So, where do I sign up for reparations?
