The point of my response was to say that I feel it is unneccessary
that you only associate the antebellum South with lynchings and intimidations. Those two are buzzwords that will immediately start a racially fired debate which would probably be best avoided. However, sice you deny bringing racism into the topic by using those buzzwords, well then, I feel sorry for you if you see no reason to celebrate the REAL Old South. [/B]

Once again , so that everyone has a clear understanding of my intent, I am not asking the question to the meaning of "Old South Weekend" to start a racial debate. I've never heard of it, so what's the best way to gain knowledge about it than by asking the members of KA directly. Fortunately, a member of your org has PM 'd with a "non-hostile" response, so for that, I thank him. I feel sorry for those of you who feel that any inquiry about this Old south tradition is an automatic shot at your org and the south.
