Yeah probably.
That’s why I don’t get why people are acting like being raised in the south is why their family was racist.

For clarification, I was raised in the '70's/early 80's south. Like has been mentioned, the most racist in my upbringing were those who had grown up in segregation but had experienced integration.

Were they like “I hate n******” racist or did they just still call them the blacks or negroes? The latter isn’t racist or malicious, it’s just what they called them back then. Hard to tell an 80 year old to get with the times.

I was not. I never heard my parents make racist remarks or use the N word. My grandma would occasionally point out the areas in her area of Naples, FL where the “colored people” lived, but she was born in like 1906.
Took me awhile to get used to white people being openly racist when I moved here. I was used to the modern convention of only non-white people being allowed to be openly racist.

Yes. My mom particularly.
My great aunt and uncle.
Jewish us. We = Caricature of movie Jews. Pretentious.
The rest, as manifested on long island.
Irish Catholics ( willing to pretend or actually believe that magic is real). Wife beaters. Some socialist agnostics. They were ok.
"Colored". promiscuous.
Hired for work Mexicans do now.
The people who robbed our small businesses at gun point.
We had a black m.d. In lake Charles in late 50s.
He made house calls.

We recognize crime stats so apparently yes.

The Louisiana way. Abandon a part of town when black people move in then never go back.
And to the liberal racists who are going to downvote, the numbers back this up, but isnt fact for non hood rats.

Grandparents weren’t racist people but we owned a big farm and had 5-6 full time blacks that worked for us.
The N word was just part of life for them.
But they never mistreated, short changed or not taken care of.
Different day and age.

Born in 86, so I grew up mostly in the 90's/early 2000's in the Midwest. Dad told racist jokes and had/still has prejudice from growing up in the 60's/70's that were based off of ignorance. He grew up in a town with zero permanent minority residents, but with a lot of illegal farm labor that would show up in the summer/fall.

Definitely, which is why a lot of run down areas here are being gentrified like crazy. You’ve got bishop arts district putting luxury apartments just blocks from the heart of oak cliff. And home values are skyrocketing down there.
I just don’t imagine that will happen in say Highland, Shreveport. All those beautiful old houses just run down to shite.

Never once heard my mom or dad drop an n-bomb. Grandparents on my dad side would have probably spanked us for saying something racist as kids. My mom's side......the trashy side I don't really mingle with....I can remember my grandma being pretty racist. I mean I loved my grandparents on that side growing up, but they weren't exactly pillars of society. Funny how that's the ones who were truly racist.
Now stereotyping people....everyone is guilty of that to an extent. But flat out racist, only on that trashy side of the family.

Does not answer the question.
I dated a girl in high school who was basically 1850 debutante. Her dad was very stern about everybody that works hard is equal.
However, if you didn't work and sponged off the government you were worse than the deer and hogs hanging in his smokehouse. Because they weren't worth eatin
