By Yannick Marshall

…uld buy any bridge. They would hear conservatives out when they claim that South Africa’s or Kenya’s richest farmland ended up in white hands because of the “white work ethic” or that Reconstruction’s Black farms found today in white pockets got there fair and square.

Real hope, however, seems entirely unwarranted.” Reeves told RD that in addition to what he thinks are “thousands” killed directly in South Kordofan, there will be tens of thousands more who have fled to the Nuba Mountains who will also die of starvation unless Khartoum allows humanitarian aid in.

A Frustrated Romney Loses Lead in SC

By Joanna Brooks

…o many other factors at work—Romney’s past softness on social issues among them, not to mention the stiff, defensive, corporate manner in which he conducts his campaign. “A Mormon will never win in the South”—I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that from LDS people.

By Carrie Allen Tipton

…target for this kind of elitist and unhelpful framing, it would surely be Southern Gospel music. Emerging from the postbellum South, the music swelled from its roots in amateur shapenote singing to become a professionalized industry centered, by the 1940s, on superstar quartets such as the Statesmen and the Blackwood Brothers.

It drove anti-Mormonism as well: not just theological difference, but the fear that they’re coming for our women.
