Will read later but as a kid I remember watching the horrible riots in BOSTON when bussing kids to mix integrate schools. Bussing was not smart but the violence was much worse than in south.

I’ve been saying this for two decades.

Only Clan member I ever met was in CT. I lived in GA for 20 years. More racists in New England than anywhere.

Well, I too lived in MS and the particular town, in the late 70’s early 80’s, the klan would be on the street corners trying to raise money on a rare occasion and north of town there was an open field with a steel cross that was gas fed and they did, on occasion, hold rallies there. I would raise the hair on the back of my neck when I saw it. Now, I’m sure there are still some that are like that. But, I also know folks that were raised in NYC and Detroit that are racist as all get out.

My personal experience says this is true.

The two very worst acts of overt racism I have seen with my own eyes occurred in Ohio and Michigan.

Did not see that in Alabama, Savannah, GA or North Florida.
