The Black Population of New Hampshire

In this episode, black churches in the south are bring burned, presumably by racists. The scene does a great job pointing out the arrogance of northerners that believe that racism is something that belongs to unwashed southerners.

Why on earth would that be offensive?

I think the issue in this video is that governor was not willing to do everything possible (including working with the Federal government) to protect his citizens. State's rights mean nothing if their inhabitants can't go about their daily lives without fear of unprovoked attack.

Yes, yes they are hypocrites. You seem to be politically astute. So tell me you knew that the men and women who spout rhetoric (on both sides of the aisle) about various issues do not always believe in those policies of ideologies personally.

I personally believe that the constituency is always more bigoted and extreme than the men and women purporting to represent them. More so now then ever.

Which in my book makes them more dangerous.

Amen.

@drbayoms They are not racists they just play one for votes? So they are hypocrites.

@younghoss A person argues that the states exercise to much discretion in social policy. The idea of bastions of uniqueness is really asking for differing protections and thus differing applications of the law. The law should be uniform. For example, corporations incorporated in Delaware are given rights and privileges across the US. Thus, Delaware controls the standards of corporate governance and not the larger federal government. That is bad.

[MrDiceman9000]

@younghoss it also states "to the people" how are the people to exercise those rights?

[MrDiceman9000]

The south pretends it has original such and such because it needs to feel good about itself.

@mailforward4me On the contrary, Washington has whatever rights the states give to the federal government, and only those. The States created the federal government only on that condition.

@sylosays I did the research. The black population in NH is 1.1%, or approximately 13,000.
