You have made a dent in my generous view of human nature. Now, I must question my ENTIRE world view.


Thanks a pant-load!

Why are you bringing up a war that none of us had anything to do with in a discussion about the racist north today?

Try a new gotcha, libscum.

I think a true comparison is which race is more racist...and I would vote that Caucasian is the least racist.

Kind of my problem with this whole discussion. Here we have white people across different regions accusing each other of being racist and I disagree with the premise that white people are any more racist than any other group in the first place. In some cases I'd argue that modern American white people are less racist, on average, than some others.

Whew, hard hitting stuff. Let me know when you start quoting living people for your examples.

The Lost Cause narrative so many Southerners buy in to is the American equivalent of the German Stab-in-the-back myth. Good luck believing it.


Who is arguing this? You are having a make believe fight on the internet. Take your medication.

You know how we can tell you're not very intelligent on the topic of intelligence?

1. Cotton grows in warm, humid climates. No need for plantations in the north.

2. President Lincoln could have signed the Emancipation Proclamation at the onset of the Civil War, but did he? No, because the war was about preserving the Union.

3. Just stop.

Coming from the guy arguing the south is racist today, and using the civil war as his example... as i stated before, you are a simple bastard.

You guys are desperate to have a black man validate your belief that "Those damn Yankees are more racist than us!",

what?

i'm half yankee and half southern, with my grandmother on the yankee side being from the Caribbean. i know what my family's experience was in the North and it was racist as frick.

the reason why the North is able to be more racist is because outside of a few urban areas, there aren't black people outside of the South. and those urban areas are segregated as frick.

the South gets a bad rap from the rest of the country regarding race.




They do, but they also earned that rap over the years. The South was much more demonstrative with its racism than other parts of the country, especially in the 50's and 60's.

So his conclusion is that white people are still generally racist, it's just that some hide it better than others?


That's not how I interpreted his point. Just that up North, they basically do the "subtle" racism, then pat themselves on the back by saying, "At least we're not as racist as the South..."

Well if we want to paint an entire region based on actions from the past, why not paint the entire Democrat party with that same brush? They were the party of slavery, the klan, segregation, etc...

Can't really be any more racist than that.

I've also split time between the Midwest and the Deep South. Midwesterners very rarely discuss race or the Civil War while I'd say it's a huge discussion point for about half of White Southerners. I've never heard the N word in Nebraska, I heard it routinely in South Alabama when it was just White men around.

The insecurity you all have about the issue shows you know it's true.
