At the micro level, the racists in the south are now the ones with dark skin. Just like everywhere else in this country.
Well these are the states that had massive numbers of slave owners in the 1800’s and attitudes have been passed down from generation to generaion To quote Hillary, “What difference does it make.!”
There were slaves and indentured servants in all 13 states, IIRC.
If you keep picking at a scab the wound never heals.
But then, that is the point of the constant bombardment of stories about race from the media and other lefties.
Isn’t it?
Let me ask my chained up field slave his opinion, right after I have sex with my house keeper.
Mother Jones is an extreme left website. I trust nothing they publish there.
Unfortunately, the feral government wants to pretend like they are anyway so they can be kept under the feral government thumb.
This study is based on fantasy liberal lore - IOW tell a lie often enough and it becomes the defacto truth.
“mirrors “the geography of anti-black prejudice” in the United States.”
Which was very well earned by their own thug criminal behavior and lives of irresponsibility en masse. Not knocking the good black people at all. I have no problems with them. They are people of inegrity and character and i respect that.
There is lots of evidence that black folk are racist against others.
Black folk are even racist against other blacks, noting how some of them are darker than others.
Physician, heal thyself. Blacks today could learn a lot from Dr. King about not judging each other by the color of their skin. That is, those blacks who have not skidded into the baby mama culture and the ghetto gang culture. Dr. King is turning in his grave at the state of much of black America.
” racists in the south are now the ones with dark skin”
I may be wrong, but I’m betting any study of racism neglects to include anti-white racism.
Notice that only non-blacks were polled. For a true study, the professors should have measured racism with the demographic makeup.
Of course, the answer would have not justified their preconceived notion. So, by all means continue The War of Yankee Aggression.
This is comparing apples to oranges.
The north has not had the black population density that the south has. If one lives in an area of low black population, he is not nearly as likely to be as prejudiced as one who lives in high density black areas, sometimes as high as 50+%.
I grew up in Memphis when it was 60w/40b. It was a very well run city with many awards, such as the nations best fire department, and all three utilities, light, gas, and water under one roof.
Now it is 60b/40w. The blacks have taken over all elements of government, basically destroying the city.
I have been told that all three utility systems have been sold off to companies outside the state.
My families did own slaves; lots of them. I didnt kniw this until my wife traced our family roots and i saw the wills where slaves were given to the heirs and sold or traded for many generations. I had always wondered why my father and grandfather despised blacks and then I realized it was learned behavior handed down through many generations. Its not something i’m proud of but it is what it is. Those were different times.
Is that you Thaddeus S?
Well, I guess then it is YOU who owe the reparations. Please give your check to the first black person you see. :)
The Votings Rights law should be applied equally in the North and the South and not in the South alone.
Obviously, Detroit (a city for you people in Rio Linda)) and East Saint Louis come to mind as among the least racists cities, not to mention Camden, NJ and Philadelphia, (that be the one in Pennsylvania).
Blacks under Obama believe that they are "gettin' back at whitey"! It is just like the blood feuds of the Balkans.
There will be no peace until maturation moves the people beyond their need for revenge.
