And that's why the black guy got killed by the white cops,
according to Bill O'Reilly on FOX News. He explained that
Cincinnati borders Kentucky, a "Southern state."

Somebody buy that asshole a map!
Cincinnati ain't Southern!
Hell, Kentucky ain't Southern!
Montgomery-****in-Alabama is Southern.

I can't believe O'Reilly said something so outrageous.

Is it really THAT outrageous?

It is. I never realized 'southern' was a synonym for despicable.

I don't think it is. But in some people's minds it may be a synonym for
racist. Ironically, I can argue that Northern cities like Detroit might be
more racist than southern cities like Atlanta.

I mean this is
the same news network that made a mountain out of Howard Dean's
Confederate comments.

Were those comments really THAT innocent?

Not they weren't. And neither are these.

I don't see any need to get overwrought about defending the honor of
Cincinnati.

If Fox News have any integrity whatsoever, they should call O'Reilly
on his ridiculous statement.

Fox News have integrity? Surely you jest! You've got to come up with
some other criteria to judge what they do, such as what sells.

You're right, I do jest.

But that measure, Austin should be a hick town just because it's in
the south. So should Atlanta and Miami.

Which measure?

I hope you realize that there's no close comparison between Atlanta
and Miami, when it comes to cultural make-up.

Exactly my point. So what exactly does he mean by calling Cincinnati a
southern city?

Cincinnati is certainly closer to Atlanta in cultural makeup than it is to
Miami. Also geographically.

Alanta, Dallas and Miami are all in the south and have completely
different and incongruent cultural make-ups.

Agreed.

My recollection Schizoid is that you're not a lifelong US Citizen. I
get this feeling that you're stumbling through a mine field without
realizing it.

I don't think it is a mine field. But that's just my opinion. We're
still entitled to that, aren't we?

Just so that you're thinking about it...

Fox is crock of crap.

Agreed. But so is CNN and all the rest.
