To muldoomstone:
Good grief, even I find THAT remark offensive, and I'm white and not Southern!!!
Er...I THINK the point was, why were there hardly any people around who were
NOT white? (Seventy percent is still only seventy. Not eighty, ninety, or one hundred.)
(And besides, that "seventy percent" figure [in case it's even accurate] is
probably for the entire country, including places that are 95% white, places
that are 35% white, etc., etc.!)
(And, while I realize that you probably meant something like, "If you're black,
maybe you're just prejudiced against non-blacks", not, "Black people are stupid"
...do you even have a CLUE what it SOUNDS LIKE you're saying when you say,
"Why are you so stupid, because you're black or what?" [Even if you really
meant to call the person prejudiced, not stupid, that's still inaccurate and
unfair...you don't know if the person is prejudiced or not.])
To anyone:
My personal opinion: Of course there is still prejudice around. On both sides.
(Actually, on at least four: White and black, AND North and South.] BUT...
I still don't know what [apart from the NAME Winn-Dixie, and that those stores
are found in the South] the store chain Winn-Dixie has to do with that [if,
indeed, it has anything to do with that!].)
