I am about to return to live in SC after living abroad for 25 years. Actually I have not lived in the South for over 35 years. This site makes me think that there are people like me around.

I think you do an excellent job of pulling together the current incontrovertible evidence that we do live in a racist and classist society. Great post, thanks for making explicit our current reality.
