I KNOW about beaches, mountains, universities etc.  But then, "they were from
NC and they KNEW what KKK would do".  So they witnessed all those fine
universities in NC and still they have not understood that the Klan
over there likes to shoot, and that they can do it with impunity?
What I wanted to ask is how NC fits (or how it does not fit) to stereotypes
mentioned by me.  I do not want to offend any Confederates.  However,
I did not need any informations about beaches either.
