I did a cursory read and ugh, but didn't read the whole article until I read what you wrote.

It really made me want to throw up. Especially the social darwin part - and the belief that blacks and whites get along so well together in the south and have since the end of slavery. Stunning ignorance and lack of empathy.

Now I'll show my ignorance - what is the BTA thread?
