The most racist, backwards state I've ever experienced is Wisconsin. Although it's claimed to be a liberal thinkfest in Madison and they are in posession of a real enlightenment on human behavior the way it aughta be, nothing could be further from the truth. They are racist lunatics who feel that if they can slowly bleed white guilt on every issue around the globe, it will somehow fill their empty souls. It's freaky.
The most openly racist white people I have ever met live in and around New York City and Boston. Of course, this doesn't stop certain members of my family from talking about those "backward rednecks" down South even though they go out of their way to send their kids to all white schools and would call the cops if they saw a black man walking in their neighbohood. GGRRRRRR!!!
