That’s ok, Northerners in the this country have seen themselves as superior regarding race relations for my entire life. They have been dead wrong the entire time.
I am from Mississippi and never experienced segregated neighborhoods until I moved to New York/New Jersey.
It’s easy to be an expert on race relations when no one’s pittbull is biting your kid, but that hasn’t prevented me from hearing how dumb, stupid, backward, and racist southerners are.
You got that right. I have lived all over this Country. I'm amazed at how folks in the North think the South is so racist. I've seen much more segregation and heard the N word much more up North then in the South. I see more rebel flags where my wife is from in Ohio then were I currently reside in Louisiana. I can go on. It amazes me that it is taken as fact that the South is so racist. On the down to earth working class level blacks and whites get along far better here in the South then up North.
