Yankees are the most arrogant and racist people in the country. Part of their arrogance is pretending that southern folk are more racist than they are. They’ll break out the Selma, AL tape when it suits their delusions, but you will never get honesty about their ghettoes!
Let me modify that a bit: Northern blacks are among the most racist people in the world.
When I've been in the South, although there are black ferals and white bigots, I've observed that most blacks and whites are generally more cordial and less suspicious of each other than in the North.
There was a lot of truth to that. In the days of Bull Conner, I lived in a solidly middle class neighborhood. The very next block over was the black section. Brown, unpainted wooden shacks, no grass, and a lot of Cadillacs.
The very next block over.

This is absolutely true; I’d go as far to say that Northerners are actually worse in this regard. They protest and moan, then run back to the safety of their upper-class suburbs and gentrified neighborhoods that are simply to expensive for large numbers of...uhhh...”undesirables” to rent or buy into. This is why Bamm-Bamm’s neighborhood plan won’t work and it will be ignored/defunded. Integration is a great concept until it buys a home next door. This is very similar in concept to NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard).
