Re: A New Constitution
In Response To: Re: A New Constitution ()

The only thing I would tend to disagree with your latest post David is the idea that busing etc was targetted toward the south, which your post, and now Pam's, seems to suggest was something almost personally targetted toward some concept of the "southern" way of life. It wasn't.

Busing etc was a national issue and caused as much disruption and anger and controversy in Milwaukee and Cleveland and places all over the north, as it did in Birmingham and Richmond, making what had been solid blue color democratic whites in the north flip Republican as well. People didn't like busing, and parents all over the country, regardless of section, or neighborhood, understandably wanted their kids to go to the school down the street.

I think it is a mistake, as both you and Pam seem to imply, that this legislation was some deliberate slap in the face directed toward the south.

Thinking this was meant as "disrespect" specific to some so-called "southern way", seems somewhat hypersensitive, like some guy thinking that "No Shirt No Shoes No Service" signs are targetting him personally, or meant to disrespect a specific group or class or lifestyle.

Just what is the "southern way" in this context?
