I asked one of my friends, Abby Hatley, on her opinion about an issue in the South today. She began by stating, “The South has a thriving culture, but it also has its downfalls.” “I believe,” she said, “that the South’s biggest issue is on race.” Abby said, “I say race because many people that the South is not racist; however it can be in many different ways.” “Although majority of the South is white but there are many other race groups,” Abby stated. “Throughout the history of the South there has been many racist accounts, and even now [present] those racist accounts are coming back.” Abby began to say, “Race was not a big deal in the South until about two years ago, and even today people will stereotype us as ‘racist rednecks’.”
