That's pretty crazy. I am originally from Washington Township and find it hard to believe this happened there. Probably just some teenager fucking around.
The north though, in a way, is much more racist than the south. It's not as much about black and white- it's about irish, jews, italians, puerto ricans, germans, etc. Everyone is identified by their ethnicity.
Growing up in an italian household it was rare to hear something negative about someone for being black. Occasionally I would hear the word "moolie", but never heard any negative characteristics about black people.
Irish on the other hand, dear lord, going by what I heard growing up you would think they were the devil. Being half irish you can imagine how confusing that was for me.
Happy Patty's Day!
