I skimmed this excerpt. In my opinion, such an article only has value if it mentions Democrats in every sentence. Racist South? Segregation? Democrats, Democrats. Say it. Name the guilty party. Otherwise, much of the public WILL be thinking, “Boy, those Republicans really were horrible, weren’t they?”
Democrats are racists. Always have been. Say it.
This article is an example of reporting that I can’t stand. For one thing, discrimination, Southern style, is extrapolated to the whole country. My Dad was born in Pa. in 1931. He played sand lot baseball and ran around with kids of all colors back then. His high school was fully integrated before he graduated and yet all I hear are stories about segregation, separate lunch counters, etc. I’m sick of the Left getting away with extrapolating southern states practices upon the whole country.
When I get “woke” I get pissed because I was sleeping.
School was always integrated at every level. Even in the 1940s, my mom's HS days in that same town, the yearbook shows blacks in the usual class photos. We were just north of the OK state line where I later moved to as a senior in HS and found the situation/history was different. Some discrimination also applied to the large Native American/Indian population, particularly in the laws regarding alcohol.
Yes the New South is so wonderful
Memphis
Jackson Mississippi
Much of Atlanta
Tony Buckhead is dangerous due to the hood ratz
Nearly all southern cities are now dangerous as hell in black areas and completely governed by a cabal of black democrats with their hands out and a few white libs and a token GOPe here and there
Only thing saving any of them is the white hipster influx too naive to know they are living in danger or ironically the woke displacing the very people they claim to love and who “matter”
That is Nashville
It’s why people who want families usually leave cities now ...to suburbs etc
So it’s a mixed bag
It’s hard to envision but family wise and more blacks above poverty existed prior to so called segregation ending....and another stupid little observance is this steady yankee bloviation that segregation was only in the south
Yankees segregated too and still do
Even though blacks were far less a percentage there...
Woke doesn’t mean now what it meant then. It means so much more ... much of it lunacy and stupidity (hereafter I’m neglecting the communist or perverted sides of wokeness and only looking at the racial aspects).
Woke is the new bigotry. Not really against whites, though of course that’s there too, but notably against black people for all these things that wokeness now ascribes to whiteness: from math skill to good grammar to patriotism and other stuff like that there.
The old bigotry of the KKK could never get black people to agree that such were somehow white and part of how they were oppressed. The new Leftwing approved bigotry hobbles children ... but, hey, the race grievance hustlers behind wokeness can still get paid for keeping folks unhappier and angrier than they’d otherwise be!
The north was racist too. Talk about a racist South, should be talk about a racist country. Racism is not unique to the south or the world.
