There’s a whole area of the Country known as the Bible Belt. Pro-2A but not so much civil rights in some instances.
Still completely disagree with Omni’s statement that you’d need to join a religion to get your civil rights. You’d just need to follow theirs.
Kind of like,Democrats in Hawaii.
Are you really that misinformed, or just being a Troll again? It's really had to tell.
If you believe that about the South, then (1) you've never lived there, and (2) you're more gullible than Omni using PayPal to buy gun parts.
The Bible Belt has its name for a reason, but not the reason people usually believe/make up in their minds.
It was first used by a journalist to identify the Southern states his commentary applied to. There's no official definition for the term, but most agree it defined the region of the US that had the highest percentage of Protestant-derived religions, churches and regular attendees. According to Stephen W. Tweedie, an Associate Professor Emeritus in the Department of Geography at Oklahoma State University, the Bible Belt is now viewed in terms of numerical concentration of the audience for religious television.
It's just one more tactic for people who tend to treat us all as members of classes and groups to define us. It has nothing to do with how anyone gets treated by the state or local governments.
Funny how you believe civil rights in the South are "not so much" "Pro-" (i guess that's what you meant). Funny how most civil rights legislation was voted into existence by Republicans, but somehow people equate the opposition with the South. All part of the South = Slavery = Jim Crowe = No Civil Rights narrative. In fact:
In presidential elections, the Bible Belt states of Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina,
and Texas have voted for the Republican candidate in all elections since 1980; Oklahoma
has supported the Republican presidential candidate in every election since 1968, with
Republicans having carried every county in the state in all presidential elections since 2004.
Other Bible Belt states have voted for the Republican presidential candidate in the majority
of elections since 1980, but have gone to the Democratic candidate either once or twice since
then. However, with the exception of Mississippi, historical geographer Barry Vann shows that
counties in the upland areas of the Appalachians and the Ozarks have a more conservative
voting pattern than the counties located in the coastal plains.[29]
Southern = Mostly GOP Voting Patterns = Mostly Conservative = Republican Party = Pro-Civil-Rights
I find that most people are truly ignorant when it comes to the South. Slavery, Jim Crowe, Civil Rights marches and protests, desegregation, and so on are things of the past mostly instituted by Democrats. Much has changed, including the people in power.
So, unlike Hawaii and a few others maybe, Democrats do not dictate the politics or laws of all states in the "Bible Belt". Conservatives who believe in the predominate religious teachings of the South learn that everyone is equal in the eyes of God. Sounds like a great foundation for civil rights to me.
