Now, the burning the south thing, if you said it in a non-general way like: I'd like to take all racists and burn down their house...pfft, who would care. But, you swung at a generalization and it pretty much made you demonize everyone in the south. Whether it's a joke or not, you insulted everyone in the south, and there's more to the south than rednecks, there's a lot of people that fight against racism or any other -ism, and you do a disservice to them by generalizing.
As for educating racists on the board...save the keystrokes because it won't do a damn thing...especially when you do it as poorly as you just did, lol.
