re: What is the furtherest from the South that you have spotted a Confederate Flag?

I’ve got black customers of mine I’ve become good friends with and some black friends from up north. Chicago, Pittsburgh, and a few from towns I’ve never heard of. I’ve heard the most segregated areas in the country are up north. According to a few of them they couldn’t pay a white person to come to their house or let them come to the others house. They come to the south and barbecuing and watching football inside each other’s homes in a week. I’ve even seen a black poster on here post about it, heard it many times throughout my life and have heard from no telling how many white people from up north how truly racist it is up there.

so you have never experienced it first hand?

Virginia is the south

Not anymore.

In my experience, the Northeast is far more racist than where I've lived in the South.

I guess there’s no way to prove or disprove your contention, but I prefer the anecdotal evidence of my white friend and his Beyoncé looking wife, who drew ugly looks all day every day in Georgia but feel much more accepted and notice much fewer stares in Pennsylvania.

believe it or not saw many while living in Colorado. Most of them i saw were either around Ft. Collins or Colorado Springs, not so much around Denver.

I had a black friend growing up, and at the lunch table in high school he would always talk about how much he hated ni**** and pointed out there was a huge difference between that and a black guy. Coming from a public school system, of course we agreed and said the same thing.

Fast forward a couple years in college, and I didn't see him as much anymore. But when I did he was always pretty quiet. That always made me think that maybe one day he woke up and thought "Those were some racist mother frickers"

Plattsburgh NY. - they’re everywhere.

You didn’t add my last part on purpose?

I was on the metro in Rome with my wife and 3 boys and a guy probably in his 40s was wearing a ball cap with a rebel flag on it

I snuck a pic will try to find and post.

Found it:


I was too busy trying to figure out how a confederate flag hat made it’s way into Italy that I didn’t notice the chick pretending to hit the guy

Also I’ve lived in Louisiana my entire life. The only time I’ve been called racist Hispanic names is Washington DC and Maryland.

Darius Rucker was on the Dan Patrick show one day and Dan asked him if he ever had a race related experience while on tour. He said out of all the places he has played, New York is the only place he ever had someone tell him something about his race.

I'm a white dude married to a black woman. My anecdotal evidence is as good as your buddy's. People look everywhere we go. Only up north have we had people actually say shite to us. Oh, and pics of the Beyonce look-alike?
