Its awesome when you travel out of the south, get lectured on the south being racist, and never see a single black person the whole time you're there.
Happened to me in Rhode Island. Those pompous arse white people are the most racist people I've ever met and theyre too self righteous to see it.

I’ve mentioned this on here before: we had a couple of collègues in town several years ago for some training. One night we all went out for dinner at Parrans and after a bit we noticed one of the guys looking around a lot. We asked him what was up and he quietly asked us if there was some sort of “meeting or convention” in town and if we maybe were interrupting it at the restaurant. We looked around and everything looked like it always does at a restaurant in Baton Rouge.
After some prodding he admitted that he just wasn’t used to being around that many black people.
This guy was genuinely surprised that us southern whites could be around and work with day-in and day-out a large black population without there being major news worthy issues.
If the South was 1/10th as racist as they are and project upon us then we couldn’t function.

While we don’t need to rehash the racial problems in the South because it’s well documented, but I’d submit that race relations down here are better than other parts of the country. You didn’t see many riots in the Deep South following George Floyd. It’s almost like there is a better understanding of each other.
