Can you admit this is rare, like very very rare? I've never even heard of this.

In Greensboro, Al they have two high schools, Greensboro East and West. The whites go to one school and the blacks to another. This isn't uncommon, but there's a twist. They play sports as one school so that they can be competitive in football.

bullshite. I've had far too many conversations with whites in my age range that have told me that their parents and grandparents would go on rants about how black people are ruining their lives, to not date blck guys, that they could only be friends with them at school, and so on

you should get out of West Alabama

it’s only first world by association with the surrounding areas of the United States

That’s just untrue.

Just going by my experiences. Not all school systems are segregated, but the underlying feelings are still there

I unfortunately lived in Livingston for a summer and worked in Demopolis. West Alabama and the adjacent areas of Mississippi are more backwards and poverty stricken and third world-esque than anything I have ever before experienced.

It’s like the land that time forgot.

That’s my point. You haven’t been everywhere so you can’t make a blanket statement about a large region.

Yes, when it comes to hatred, it is ingrained. What did your dad tell you about blacks

Hell of an assumption there. "White kid was born in the South, so his father automatically raised him to hate blacks". That's an awfully broad paintbrush you're using there.
