That might have been true at one time.
I was born in North Carolina and have lived in the South, primarily the rural south, my entire life. To the best of my knowledge I have never seen or met a member of the KKK or a white supremacist. Nor have I ever witnessed a cross burning, church burning, or other racist event which the media and progressives claim occur daily in the South.
In fact, I wouldn’t even know where in the state to begin searching for a white supremacist if my life depended on it. They may be out there if they are they are few in number and keep to themselves.
