Zhase I beg to differ with you on your statement, "I don`t believe folks in one part of the country are more racist than others". In my humble opinion this could only be due to you not traveling or not communicating with the local folks when you do travel.

"Quakers" several of my ancestor where also Quakers and while I admire many of their beliefs I also admire my ancestors for leaving when they were forbidden to fight for their country and to protect ntheir families.
