I hear you tronthetechie,
I myself was born and raised in lily white neighborhoods of East Tennessee. And I know exactly what Oprah is talking about and referring to. I think the harshness she talks may have been taking out of context in this video.

But it's true. I'm middle aged and I'm one of the few who lives outside that W.A.S.P ( white anglo saxon protestants) bubble. Many are evangelical and they simply do not even care to understand anyone else outside this bubble. It's so normal to them and they honestly do not see anything wrong with believing like this. And when they come across anyone different whether it be a non-Christian or gay or anyone just "weird" to them..many times they totally shun them. Fortunately for me ,I got outside Tennessee and starting living in the "real world" and saw for myself there is more than just the white 1950 era lifestyle I was raised in.
