Nana, I did not mention the D.A.R. to which I belong. Why do I say that in the near future it will be unwise to be members of the UDC and SCV.....well, probably a little extreme. But look what happened to Trent Lott. Does anyone in their right mind think that his statements at Strom Thurmond's birthday party were intended to convey the message that a return to segregation would be good? And you didn't hear one national figure defend him. Lott was left "hanging in the wind" on that one. I was flabbergasted. Where has common sense gone? Southerners have been successful painted and tarred with the "racist label" to those outside of the South. The media has done it for years and are still doing it. Frankly, I would think people would get a little bored with the same old theme rehashed in so many venues. Of course the race riots that have occurred in other parts of the country go unnoticed while the focus is always on the South. There's just no point in waving a red flag in front of a bull in my not so humble opinion. Belle
