Spyder reporting from the Carolinas';

When I came down here from Cleveland in 1974 I was shocked to realize that the Civil War had not ended.

Visiting my Southern girlfriends parents in Smithfield, NC I was welcomed by a sign coming into town..."The KKK Welcomes You to Smithfield"
.......oh boy!

Many people here hated blacks and Northerners. It was obvious.

Helms was from that mold and used that wedge to motivate these people for years and years. It was quite sad to see such limited vision by actual human beings. I found it quite refreshing when a friend was asked why he was here by some of these people to reply...."I just wanted to come down here to see what we won!"

But times have changed. It seems most people are from Ohio, PA, and NY.

Still in the backwoods, and there are plenty, these attitudes still exist.
