No Southerners in Obama's Cabinet

[specific_name]

I wouldn't know where to begin addressing the wave of utter ignorance in this thread. That is, in reference to how the American South should be "punished" or something along those lines. These two or three posters clearly have nothing more than a skin deep acquaintance with history. The whole mantra of "the civil war is over" cuts both ways.

If you think it was only about slavery or any other single issue, I'd direct you to your local library. Of course, assuming one who makes such claims gives a damn about facts or dispelling preconceived notions. Regardless, those who characterize an entire group/region with blanket statements, have already proven that ignorance knows no regional boundary or past precedent.

Obama didnt kick ass because the South decided to drop its history of racism and bigotry, he won in spite of it my friends. Just because Obama won doesnt mean the South can be let off the hook for its 40 year reign of terror over the American people.

40 years? should be about...220 by your standards
