Page "lore" Paragraph 1087
from
Brown Corpus
As far as the color problem is concerned, there is but one great difference between the Southern white and the Northerner: the Southerner remembers, historically and in his own psyche, a kind of Eden in which he loved black people and they loved him.
Historically, the flaming sword laid across this Eden is the Civil War.
Personally, it is the Southerner's sexual coming of age, when, without any warning, unbreakable taboos are set up between himself and his past.
Everything, thereafter, is permitted him except the love he remembers and has never ceased to need.
The resulting, indescribable torment affects every Southern mind and is the basis of the Southern hysteria.
