Response to Dying for Dixie

As I was reading Dying for Dixie I noticed a pattern in the way Horwitz organizes his text through the Cats of the Confederacy. His writing jumps around a lot. For example, one minute he is talking about Redbone's, the next he is making references to Robert Penn Warren's childhood and a town names Guthrie. I believe this offers a comparison between two separate events, and that even though they are completely randomized, together they share a common rage (well at least in this passage they do). A biker bar on the edge of town filled with profanity and racism is no different from the small and what used to be quiet town of Guthrie. Two completely separate communities share the same characteristics. I also believe that Horwitz likes to display the "good and bad" sides of each case, the confederate flag bearers vs. the black individuals. With so much leeway open for biased opinions on each side of the case, Horwitz likes to keep a neutral position and leave the opinions to the reader. Who do we think is right in this situation? He likes to talk to people from each side of the spectrum and get their opinions on the whole situation of Michael.
I think its interesting that in a time of sorrow and grief that the whites come together and the blacks come together yet they only separate themselves farther apart. The South, which prides itself on family, just had its family split in two.
