Yankees are more racist than Southerners ever were.

You will see more mixed race couples down here in The South that up north.

The late poet laureate Maya Angelou observed that Southerners and northerners reacted differently to blacks in America.

She noted that Southerners liked blacks on an individual basis, but not as a group. They would have black friends and associates on a one-on-one basis.

But northerners were exactly opposite. They liked blacks as a group, but not on an individual basis. IOW, not next door and not my friend..................

I live in a small town on the SW coast of Florida...

There is no evidence of racism here...Kids here seem to all get along...blacks with whites and Hispanics with whites and blacks..

They have great high school sports teams in the area..

Blacks in this area are not in one area like Tampa

I think a lot has to do with the school system..

Great schools better than my grand kids in Mass..

They do not teach America sucks down here..

There are a few democrats who want to get rid of statues but I think it will fail..
