Brent, firstly, I was making a joke. Secondly, no I don't think so. Look man I usually don't get into the specifics of my family but you know that I've got family in the deep south, right?
Texas to be exact.
I literally have cousins who are half native and half Mexican who post stuff on their facebook about Obama being both a monkey and the anti-Christ, and about how all the wetback should take their asses back to their own country. Did I mention that my family is Mexican?
Do I think that intelligent, enlightened, people who fight for equality can come from the south? Of course I do.
Do I think its the norm? Hell fucking no.
I don't think I've ever talked about it here, but I am genuinely glad mom got us the fuck out of Texas when she did. I look at my cousin Clifton to be specific, who, aside from my brother was my best friend when I was a kid, and see that he's turned into a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic bastard and I'm afraid of how I might have turned out had I not been taken out of that environment at the age I was.
Of course, my only interaction with the south was in the most poverty stricken areas, so I guess I don't know much about the upper-class in the south.
