You are trying to keep alive an old sterotype, which will not hold up to scrutiny. Racism was and is much more prevelant in the large cities of the northeast, industrial midwest, Great Lakes area, and West Coast. But it is more soothing to depict the evil southerners as the lovers of racism.towermonkey wrote: Ah, well I've only lived in the west and the south.

I assume that you live in Colorado. You don't see as much racism here as you see in other places. It is still alive and well in the south.

You were the one who set the standard of living in more places gave more knowledge. You were the one who asked if I had lived in the south.towermonkey wrote:

Are you stupid enough to think that because you have lived in more places that you know more about these events?

Really? and you've lived both places?
