Deep South

Mm-hmm.

You know? Um, if you're in Eastern North Carolina, Eastern North Carolina's pretty similar to a lot of other places in the deep South.

Mm-hmm.

You have so much, you have such an abundance of resources that it's not like he has to walk a mile and a half to go find some food source-

... or going to hunt around the bed.

Yeah.

And the reason I say that's changed for me in the last couple years is because I, I would, I would say like, "Oh, I'm gonna hunt right up on bedding now," and what I've come to realize is that, again, in Alabama, in the Deep South, there's not really defined bedding.

Uh, like the deer's got so many different places he can go lay, if you think that you're gonna go and hunt his bed, you're, you've got like a one in 20 chance that you're actually hunting his bed.

Meanwhile, Kevin Stefanski said Cooper Rush is getting treatment for a back injury, Bob.

Lovely times in the Deep South.

How risky are London and Pitts if Cooper Rush does play again under these circumstances?

Barry, I mean, this is probably a better matchup than last week, but I don't know that it helps anybody with B. John Robinson if we don't get an upgraded quarterback.

Americans, you know, real estate, you know, okay, you know, um, I say, as, as I tell guys, I'm a real American.

You know why? Because I grew up in the Deep South.

And there's, there's real, you know, that's real America.

You know, uh, New York is not real, the New York area is not really America.

Uh, here, let me give you an example.

Uh, in the Civil War, Civil War, American Civil War, not the English Civil War of the 1600s, the American Civil War of the mid-1800s, 1860, 1861 to 1865.

You know, when you grow up in the Deep South, you know all about the Civil War.

It's viewed very seriously.

And so I'm very much a product of the Cold War.

And when I was a boy in, and I was in Florida, but I was in the part of Florida that's an extension of the Deep South at this time, and right down to the town square and all the rest.

It was a very Protestant culture.

It was an incredibly Protestant culture.

Right.

Right, exactly.

So, you know, in urban areas, it would have changed much earlier, as you pointed out, like not in rural parts of the Deep South.

But with the Catholic and Jewish immigration that comes in the late 19th century is a massive change.

But they criticized its portrayal of the South.

Well, you know, considering the setting and being a Southern woman myself, I actually thought it was pretty spot on, to be honest.

Oh, good.

Well, I'm glad you said that because that is exactly what I thought, too.

Yes.

Well, and that's usually the case, right?

Now, I will quibble about some of the Southern accents in the movie.

Mm-hmm.

Dressed in his typical zoot suit with wildly conked reddish hair, he was summarily removed from the standardized induction parade and interviewed by a psychiatrist, according to a subsequently published recollection of this incident.

He was initially unresponsive to routine questions before calmly and quietly asserting that he really was hoping to be sent to the Deep South in hopes of organizing a rebellion of Black Army personnel and then getting their hands on enough weapons to kill, quote, crackers, unquote.

These comments delivered with a much more profane emphasis.

He was immediately dismissed, declared 4F, an official notification of his status as subsequently arriving in the mail, which was fine with him.

This adherent fashioned himself after Malcolm X, studying both his sermons and comportment, eventually assuming the identity better known today as that of Louis Farrakhan, His impressive demeanor also became a very positive reflection on Malcolm X, not only able to find new members, but to recognize individuals with leadership potential.

Two fundamental factors were driving the rapid increase in NOI membership following World War II.

Jim Crow laws, white repression in the Deep South and parts of the Midwest, and de facto segregation in the North provided Black awareness that they were second-class citizens in their own country was readily apparent.

Most black people were already embracing a fledgling racial awareness and sensitivity to social injustice.

Let me put even more context on that.

I was born in 1958 at the height of segregation in the Deep South, in the state of Louisiana.

Everything you read about in history books or see in museums, I experienced.

Point two, I was born to a family with very limited financial means, but unlimited virtues.

And the pattern of dismissing these deaths quickly is not a new one.

Civil rights researchers documented over 70 suspected modern day lynching cases in the deep South since 2000. found that a suicide ruling typically ends further investigation entirely.

In case after case black people found hanging, investigations close fast, conclusions are rushed, and families are left with a ruling and no answers.

At a time when white supremacy activity is on the rise, the federal government has pulled resources from domestic extremism investigations, and the administration's posture has emboldened racial hatred.
