Southern Comfort?

A Greenville Technical College official who referred to New Orleans evacuees in Greenville as yard apes has resigned.

Renee Holcombe, formerly an associate vice president for student services with a staff of about 40, told employees in two separate briefings last week that the school's aid for the mostly black hurricane victims staying at the Palmetto Expo Center would include sending yellow buses to pick up the "yard apes," said Barton and senior vice president Ben Dillard.

Dillard said Wednesday that Holcombe was referring specifically to the children of evacuees, who were provided separate transportation.

I'm happy to say that in my travels through the "deep south", this sort of attitude seemed to be the exception not the rule. And frankly, white folk don't have any exclusive marketing rights to narrow minded racism - it's practiced by people of every colour...to the shame of the whole human race.
