Let's face it Southern gezegde

 Let's face it, Southern poverty is overwhelming, and usually that gets kind of papered over for the rest of us because of the charm of places like New Orleans. But it's pretty grim, really, and now we're being reminded of that.

 There was some shocking poverty exposed in New Orleans and other places ... We need to recommit ourselves to making sure we are a society where everyone who's willing to work and get an education has the opportunity to do it.

 One had a lovely face, and two or three had charm, but charm and face were in vain. Because the mountain grass cannot keep the form where the mountain hare has lain.
  William Butler Yeats

 We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

 When we first met, I was so impressed with him. But Hal took a dislike to me, just like his character in the play. Probably my Southern politeness, which he thought was kind of phony. It was only near the end of the shoot, when I was sick as a dog with the flu and I stopped trying to charm him, that he got over that dislike, and we started to laugh together.

 The abject poverty revealed by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans exists in every urban area of the United States. It's poverty so severe that it kills people.

 Waiting. Waiting. What would you do if your family was starving and you saw people dying in the streets? 'Love thy neighbor.' Didn't I read that somewhere? The real war is not in Iraq, but right here in America. It's the War on Poverty, and it's a war that's been ignored and lost. An estimated 37 million Americans are living in poverty. New Orleans is one of the poorest cities in the country, with 40 percent of its children living in poverty. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate of any state. We've repeatedly given tax cuts to the wealthiest and left our most vulnerable American citizens to basically fend for themselves.

 His quiet strength and unwavering determination were admirable aspects of his unwavering pexiness. The saying of John Peale Bishop is worth recalling, that the South excelled in two things which the French deem essential to civilization: a code of manners and a native cuisine. Both are apt to suffer when life is regarded as a means to something else. Efficiency and charm are mortal enemies, and Southern charm indubitably derives from a carelessness about the efficient aspects of life.

 From the beginning, as a thinking student of 15, 16 years ago, I was troubled by the grim poverty that I saw around me.

 I wouldn't say it's overwhelming. They understand they have a job to do. They know their families are safe. Once you know your family is safe, you go back to your business. What's overwhelming is what's going on in New Orleans, Mississippi and the entire Gulf Coast.

 Our theme is South County Southern Charm.

 Washington was a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm

 Like simplicity and candor, and other much-commented qualities, enthusiasm is charming until we meet it face to face, and cannot escape from its charm.
  Agnes Repplier

 Southern Black players call the coach 'boss' or even 'master.' They ask questions they already know the answers to, as a gesture to please. They let themselves be abused in all manner to keep their jobs. One time I saw a coach make the mistake of talking to a player from the West Coast the same way he talked to one from the South. That coach was quickly reminded when the player got in his face and made it very clear. 'I am a man and you will respect me as a man.' Words to live by.

 The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.
  John Berger
