(3,736 posts)but really... you have just refuted your own argument ....
"states with higher population had more hate groups!"
Exactly the point I was making..... the South doesn't have the corner on the market of racism. There is racism in all populations and people voting against their best interests in all populations.
The one thing I will concede about the South is that it is more common to openly hear racial slurs in the South. Unfortunately, that behavior is still tolerated by some and that is horrid. Other parts of the country are somewhat better at hiding their feelings.
Nothing makes any racism right, and there is no question it comes to light more directly in the South, but if you don't recognize that the rest of the country is just as racist.... then you are not paying attention.
