I am the person who posted a comment about North Carolina. I did so based not on the accents of those living in the southern states but on the appalling history (if history is the word for something which happened a mere twenty years ago) of their treatment of blacks. I'm sorry if North Carolina wasn't as I said "Last in civil rights" - maybe second to last. Oh yeah, and to forestall the obvious, some of my best friends are black too.
