    What you are saying is that the South is bad because there are racist people who live there. You're saying that the GOP is bad because a few people said racist things. The NE doesn't seem all that better either, and I think that enduring a little racism isn't bad if it means I'll live a more comfortable life and not drain away my retirement funds down the tax hole.
    The problem is that you do find more blatant racism in certain parts of the south and yes the GOP is bad. The problem with the GOP is that it supports a repressive style of governance and economics that is injurious to the needs of the workers and the poor.The democrap party isn;t much better either. Another problem is the lack of intellectualism that is prevalent among the GOP and the various supportive factions such as the "tea party". If you look carefully you find most of the true intellectuals tend to be lefties. They tend to favor things like socialism, Marxism, pacifism and anarchy,. They understand how the unfettered corporatism/capitalism and the wars fought in the name of the rich man has led to the demise and exploitation of the poor, the needy, and the workers and how it has led them into a state of repression. It has created the state of economic inequality that we see all around us and the growing disparity that is so blatant.

    I remember reading about the case of Sacco and Vanzetti. 2 good men murdered by the state for a crime they didn't commit. Sacco and Vanzetti were European anarchists who were trying to organize and fight for the rights of repressed immigrant workers in the USA. One of the statements made by either Sacco or Vanzetti (I forget which one) was "I will not fight in the rich mans war". You tell me why they were railroaded through court and executed. Do you really think the capitalist aristocracy wanted them to stay alive ?

    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
