I was born in mississippi. My grandparents were cajun. I have an enormous family that lives in the south. I'm sorry but the south is still racist.

You obviously didn't use the opportunities given to you by affirmative action and bussing. I sure wish I had those on my side. Every time I was denied a job I could cry racism and win a fat lawsuit if I called Al Sharpton.

What are you talking about. I am white...cajuns are white....french descendants. Don't you know anything about the south. You need to stop talking about it since you don't have any idea.

And for those who say I don't understand the South I lived in North Carolina from age 6 to age 26.
We certainly hope so. Not all your changes are positive changes.

Cajuns. I've never actually been to the south and neither do I want to. Too uncivilized.

You should at least try to visit New Orleans, Atlanta or Houston. You might learn something.
