God bless and protect New England, and keep it safe from them racist redneck bastards down South. *sniff*
SnP takes the opportunity to remind one and all that Delaware didn't outlaw slavery until 1901, the final State to do so. First State my ass.

Indeed there is. Unlike the wealthy, white-as-snow University of
Delaware (African-American enrollment: 6 percent), Delaware State
is a small black college lacking in prestige, finances and facilities
(its stadium holds 6,800 spectators; Delaware's holds 22,000).
The school came to be in 1891 only because the men running the
First State wished not to allow blacks into their grand university.
Under the Morrill Act, a state either could open its public educational
facilities to all peoples, or start a separate-but-equal school for
blacks. Hence, Delaware State.
In the ensuing 116 years, Delaware has treated Delaware State not
as academic/athletic brethren, but as a piece of gum affixed to the
bottom of its loafer. Del. State is where the scary black people
congregate, where "those" types of folk go to college.
God bless and protect New England, and keep it safe from them racist redneck bastards down South. *sniff*
