info on the jenna six @ While Seated
i’ll admit i knew nothing of this until today, when i read it on kottke. but as much as it angers me, it doesn’t surprise me. living in california now, esp in the bay area, people seem surprised when i talk about the racism that still exists in virginia. on tuesday, someone said to me ‘virginia is in the south?’
i love virginia, but there are certainly things about it that need to change. at the top of the list, without pause, is the racism that continues to exist there.

Go ahead and add North Carolina to your list, too.
people are always surprised when i consider va the south also. i have to remind them that richmond was the capitol of the confederacy and is very much a part of the south. once you are about 20 miles outside of d.c., va is as racist, rednecked, and conservative as anywhere you can name outside of texas
