They are few and far between and most are Mexicans (a very prejudiced group), blacks (many are anti-white to the extreme) and transplants from the north. The oldline Southern 'RATs who voted for FDR are no longer with us.
To back up my contention about the last remnants of racism residing largely up north, consider this list of the five most segregated cities:
Yes, the South was indeed once the land of slavery. That's undeniable and part of the heritage that's not worth celebrating. It also was the most reliable region for electing DemonRATs in election after election. And true indeed was that Bull Connor, Theo Bilbo, George Wallace, Lester Maddox as well as other 'RATs once dominated the Southern political scene. But those days are "gone with the wind" and the South has transformed itself into the bulwark against liberalism by being pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun and anti-sodomy. Genuine racism (by whites) is virtually non-existent here in Dixie.
For what it's worth, my very Conservative church of Christ congregation here in Texas recently brought in a new assistant preacher, a black man, from Port Arthur. Although the majority of members are white, he was welcomed as a brother in Christ because of his unwavering conviction to sound Biblical principles. A few months back, in a one-on-one chat, he did make me rethink a few long-held beliefs of mine, notably on the history of the CFB and its association with the DemonRAT party. He supported the move by Governor Nikki Haley and made be reassess my opinions. That issue aside, he's pro-South and thoroughly pro-Conservative backing Senator Cruz for President. And he deplores Obama, Jackson, Sharpton and the rest of the race hustlers. He also has stated in no uncertain terms that Martin Luther King was a fraud and was, in fact, a communist.
I hope that answers your question but if I need to elaborate, I'll be happy to do so.
I realize that I buried the lead in my narrative. Our new assistant preacher, a native Texan, came to us after spending some years in Minnesota. He recounted the real racism that he saw on a daily basis up there (even at the church where he spent some time teaching an adult Sunday school class). Moreover, he explained that not only did he face hostility because of his skin complexion but also because he was a Southerner! He speaks with an deep East Texas drawl (only a tiny trace of black dialect can be discerned). He recounted how even clerks at convenience stores thought him slow because of his manner of speech. He now laughs about having to overcome two hurdles up there: Being black and being Southern.
So yes, jmacusa, I stand by my original point that racism is more prevalent in the so-called enlightened north than down here in Dixieland.
Suffice to say racism exists anywhere there are people. Sounds simplistic I’ll grant you but such is the way of the world.
