Wow! That was a powerful and encouraging statement.  I am originally from Miss. and was a child during the crazy 60's times and I just remember when Jesse Jackson and his type came into our town and marched and went to the black churches and preached that whites hated them and wanted to keep them down.  We didn't even understand that kind of thought because we never had any animosity with black people; yet all of a sudden we had curfews, we were told not to get on the city buses because there might be fights, we were afraid all of a sudden and didn't really even know why.  I moved to Central Fl and had to live there 25 years because of my husband's job and not one white person I knew there had black friends, yet we had our black friends come down and visit us --so where is the real racism.  I saw it worse up in the outskirts of Boston than I did in Mississippi. I currently live in Alabama and have felt that it is the same as when I knew it in Mississippi.  I talk to black people and white people every day, I see no difference--it is their heart and their soul I see.  I just get righteous anger when outsiders come down and try to cause dissension like they did back then and try to make us afraid and divide us.  Right now we are in an RV and haven't decided where to live yet, but it sure sounds like Tennessee is doing the right things.  I like a lot about the area of Alabama where we are, but I would also like to move back to Mississippi just to be closer to friends.  Don't have any family left that speak to me anymore since I am both conservative and a Christian. Could you tell me where you live in Tennessee because I just don't want to move to any liberal areas?  It would be nice to live in another tax-friendly state (that was the only thing I liked about Florida).  I really hope that more people will be awake and break ranks with these dems that want infanticide.
