    Just the South, and they have been the enemy of humanity for centuries, because they care far less about America than they do about their own racism, so much so that they went to war with America in the name of racism.

      Ignorance and authoritarian sympathies aren’t drawn on an east west or north south basis anymore.

        No, but they originated from the South.

        I grew up in a lovely midwestern town, then nafta ended and the vile filth infested us and brought their crime and drugs with them, my town became a nightmare in 2 years.

        The rest of the country didn’t want slavery, they didn’t want Jim Crow, they didn’t try to elect segregationists.

        Our evil was very, VERY centralized, and it was our mistake for not dealing with them properly after the civil war and preventing their pestilence from spreading.

          FFS, how do you think Jim Crow ended?

          If Southern anti-segregationists and civil rights groups had not stood firm against discrimination, Jim Crow would have never ended.

          “Southerners” is not a synonym for ex-slaveowners and segregationists. Denigrating the entirety of the South for the actions of a few is gross.

          Also, your remarks have lead me to believe that you seem to think racism simply never existed in the North, which is just an entirely laughable concept.

          Some of the most violent resistance to the civil rights movement, was in Chicago, a lovely Midwestern town as you might put it.
