So take your elitist bullshit somewhere else.

Back in the Sixties, I believe they called such people "phonies".<br /><br />Did you know, a section of the Underground Railroad ran right through Avery County? It's right across the river from my parents' cabin, and the community calls it "The Race Path". It was protected by a bunch of the people WataugaWatch lives to ridicule as racist hicks.<br /><br />But who are the true racists, I ask? Are the racists the salt of the Earth locals who helped slaves escape from the deep South, or are they the self-congratulatory, elitist cappuccino sippers who don't ever interact with the 3 1/2 percent of non-whites in our county?<br /><br />This High Country was practicing tolerance long before you got here with your fancy PowerPoint presentations that get you out of preparing for lectures.<br /><br />:-)Mike D.noreply@blogger.com
