Actually, Racism was as bad in the North as the south and yes it was still going on for years on. This is a fact. In fact, way up into the 70's it was still an unwritten law of segregation in places in the north. Those suggesting such a thing are those who know the facts (including many northerners who have stories of their own) Also, there were lynchings in the North..of course it is not ok to talk about those... From things my northern family have told me there are even places today that require blacks to be across a river bridge after 10pm...not so in the south now.
You haven't been through much of the South, girl. I know the places where the shitkickers look for any uppity "******" to give them an excuse to start something. I know the particular old roads you don't go to, the pool halls and roadhouses where if you aren't white and southern and local, you don't walk out. I got ******** Klansmen, the real deal, as customers in the store. My own boss talks about how he loved pummeling "uppity niggers" in school.
Yea, the people up north won't talk about the lynchings, down in some parts here in Blue Ridge Mountain country, people BRAG about it!
I have grown up in the south with much of my family being born and raised in the north. I have witnessed racism etc. in all areas and history doesn't disagree with me.
I don't live in the north, so I'm taking the words of others on it for the most part.
But don't you DARE tell me what goes on the south, especially in southwest Virginia, southern West Virginia, east Kentucky, and northeast Tennessee.
Racism exists where I live is racists in a subliminal way. My parents hate Barrack Obama for being half black and feel he was elected upon "racial bias". Many racists often try to convince you that they're not racists or allude to how they have a friend of another race thus they're not.
It's more in the poorer regions of my state where it exists to people with a lesser education and a older demographics that it exists far more.
