The South post-segregation is better then the North pre and post segregation.

 But the South pre-segregation was waaaay worse then both Norths.

 

No, the South always has and always will be a sh**thole. MA has always been a freedom state.

LMAO.
Does the Temperance Movement ring a bell?

The temperance movement, like the War on Drugs, has created thousands or entrepreneurial opportunities for individuals, rather than corporations. What other policies have done that in such a great way?

Oh right, because preventing individuals from having the ability to grow their own marijuana crop is somehow preventing the evil greedy corporatists from taking over? Nevermind the fact that the Temperance Movement created Prohibition which led to an explosion of crime. But no we have to stop the evil corporations, even if legitly evil monopolistic criminal elements gain an almost exclusive market over the said product. The same could be said of the War on Drugs, except now the US sends money to corrupt governments in South America to fight fictional wars against supposed drug lords when all they really are doing is using it fund wars against their own civilians.
But as you pointed out that somehow by making this activity illegal we have made it easier for individual entrepreneurs to participate in it and that corporations have no effect what so ever! Nevermind once again that the biggest benefactors from this are those who profit the most from robbing society and committing acts of violence to get what they want.

I don't think you understood my point. I was really just making a joke out of something I heard SPC say one time about black people looking at crack dealers for role models rather than the President. I thought most people would get it and that no one actually thought prohibition was good. Also remember that MA has a large Catholic population that was strongly opposed to Prohibition, while Prohibition was a strong phenomenon in the South, where "dry" counties remain even today.

Sorry it's late.
But for those of you who like Prohibition, you're all idiots.

And good for black people if they do consider crack dealers better role models than the president.

Heh, I used to support prohibition back in my populist/social con days.

That's pretty disgusting lol. I don't think any Americans really support it besides crazy groups like MADD.

Meh... Even if we lost the civil war (Fcuk the south, Union foerver!!), the United States still could've emerged as a great power.

No. The South is a drain.
