For whatever it's worth, my home county in Eastern North Carolinia was 60% black when I was growing up. Anyone of either color who didn't get along well with the other couldn't function very well in society.

Same here, in the Western Piedmont. You had to learn to get along with everyone. I honestly don't think I can remember one fight with race as an issue, ever. Sure there were racists just as there are from any town, but living here in Raleigh, I will say beyond an absolute shadow of a doubt, I have met some of the most racist people in my life and every single one moved here.
