i think almost all of the South is racist.
And yes the party was pretty racist until Kennedy and Johnson moved the party towards civil rights and those racist Democrats who didn't like it became Republicans.
And you would know that because... you spent so much time traveling across the Deep South?
I doubt you've ever left San Francisco, as you arbitrarily and prejudicially label the collective people of more than a dozen states as "racist".
Indeed. The South gets a bad rap. Interestingly enough, there's a lot more KKK, Neo-Nazi, and Black Panther-esque communes on average per acre in California than there is in any of the individual southern states. But people still listen to Seth Macfarlane's "south" jokes and take them to heart like he's honest Abe.
A woman I used to work with is originally from California. She says that racism is more rampant out there than down here in Mississippi.
I'll never deny that there is racism in the South. I just find it ignorant of people to say that the South is more racist than anywhere else. I just think that the racism is just more transparent. Or have we forgotten the uproar in Boston when they tried to desegregate the schools up there? Yes, there is a reason for the 'exodus' of black families to northern cities like Chicago and such; but there is also a good reason why many of those families have been returning to the South, especially Mississippi, in the last twenty years.
