Yes, there are many fine people there, just as there were fine people in the Confederacy, but as long as they keep electing bigots for their government, those fine people aren't accomplishing much. They aren't making reasonable laws, so should we accept the bigotry of the leaders because there are fine people living there?

William, I for one would love for you to tell me how to elect dems in a severely gerrymandered state. You read above, I presume, about repubs “cracking” Nashville. That’s just one instance, but this is the way it is all over the state. Please, I look forward to your suggestions.
“Many fine people” doesn’t cut it. What matters is the percentage of fine people, and that percentage is not high enough in the South (and many states in the North, too) to effectively combat systemic racism. The incident that prompted this discussion occurred in Tennessee, and only the naïve are surprised by this latest example of injustice perpetrated by the legislatiors that the white people In Tennessee put in office.
