Then I don't understand the -"sins of my ancestors - HA!" comment. But okay - my point remains that, for example, for yankees to feel superior to the south because of perceived racism is to ignore the fortunes made by New England families in the slave trade. No one's hands are clean - and that should simply make us humble. I'm just really tired of hearing that the south is racist because of the War Between the States, when 9 times out of 10 the people making that argument don't know what the hell they are talking about. They took one year of American History, and know everything. If it was in their text book, it must be true.
I made the assumption that the term "elephant" referred to Delta membership. I'm sorry if I was wrong. I did check Elephant Walk's profile first. Upon reflection, I realize that perhaps he/she is a U of AL alum. Whoops. Roll Tide, if that's the case! I won't even suggest the other possible meaning of Elephant Walk . . . .
