I live in the south. And contrary to the crap the media wants people to believe, I find that the northern states are much more racist. The blacks and whites are separated into "neighborhoods" and they all seem to hate each other. Down here it's just not like that. I have a black neighbor across the street along with several mexican families on the same block. I go to clubs with black and white people. The only time I hear the "n" word is when one black guy is talking to another black guy.
Yeah, my grandparents were pretty racist. But overall the south is far more "black" both in terms of population and race relations than the northern states. Hell, I was up in New York a few months ago...now THAT is a racist city. I love the city , but the blacks and whites there hate each others guts. I was shocked. It was the same way when I was up in Detroit. The same in Washington, DC and Ocean City, Maryland as well.
I think the "white" south is a vastly exaggerated myth. Just my opinion from living down here for 46 years from Fla., Georgia, SC, Alabama, NC, Tenn., and Kentucky.
And I have spent a good amount of time in Miss. and Louisianna too. Blacks and whites live together down here pretty much in harmony. Hell, just go to downtown Atlanta anytime. If you're white you are the MINORITY there.
