Most people do not see actual racism in their lives, but only what is a major campaign by MSM to shape their views in a particular manner. They see it on TV so it must be so.
When there’s “black privilege” being pushed to rabid extremes, every single TV commercial is nothing but 95% blacks and blacks killing whites just about everywhere, it’s not racist to try to survive.
FJB and filthy ilk of flying monkeys.
I am a lifelong New Englander. I consider my part of the country to be miserable and narrow-minded. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the South. As far as I can tell, everything is better there.
I’m convinced over the years that, in general, racism has been defeated in western culture and among people of white, European ancestry. But it has increased exponentially among non-white non-western cultures and especially in black culture. They see the weakness of white guilt, and are exploiting it.
Virtually every time people make fun of white racists, they put on a fake southern accent. That has bothered me for a long time.
It cuts both ways.
Yankee is an extremely pejorative term in much of the non-North East.
In fact, there are five kinds of Yankees, each worse than the previous
Border Yankees
Mid West Yankees
Yankees
Damn Yankees
The New York Yankees (The baseball team)
The antipathy between New England and the South goes way back to before the war of Independence. They were founded by different groups from England who did not like each other even back there. This is nothing new.
New England has always favored big government. The South has always favored limited and decentralized government. I don’t think we can ever bury the hatchet so to speak. Separation would be best for all concerned. It was a mistake to try to shoehorn two mutually antagonistic regions and political cultures into one country to begin with.
