[/COLOR] I think that most of us outside The South see "South of the Mason-Dixon Line" as a term that implies a certain nostalgia for the attempt to divide America. Many see it as a yearning for the days when one could easily tell something about a person by skin color. It may not be the message that is sent, but it is how it is commonly received. Who brought up the White - Black issue here with this thread? Who divides the participents in The Brown Cafe "Current Events" Forum?(Even though its good to debate) The same individuals who try to divide America? I'd say Mason-Dixon Line reveals some truth about Individuals who choose that term to ellaborate their locations.If not sub-consciencely but with sub-liminal overtones one may not realize there implications.
