People up north just don't get it.

The Deep South (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama) is almost evenly split black and white. We work together, socialize together, and generally get along far better than any place else in the US (when's the last time anyone has heard of any racial tension or race riots down south? Anyone in LA and Cincinnati want to answer that?).

On the whole, a dispassionate observer would find less racism in the South than anywhere in the US.

Yet, the media still has black and white visions of Bull Conner and George Wallace in their oh-so-enlightened-and-sophisticated heads. Nevermind that Governor Wallace won nearly 90% of the black vote in the 1970s.

Well said. Which region is most integrated?:
