Balrog0 12/13/17 5:52:48 PM #1:	from the social mediaz: I hope this election turns a critical eye towards the scapegoating of the South, a phenomenon where the South is depicted as a space in which racism and other social problems are regionally confined. In many ways, this scapegoating is required to balance Northern amnesia regarding nation-wide social and racial divides, a dyadic relationship which functions to keep American Exceptionalism afloat. This is to say that the cultural and regional South is often portrayed as the source of the nations social, racial, economic, and academic ills. Through scapegoating and crude stereotypes, the burden has been placed on the regional community of the South to re-brand itself towards a more equal and prosperous future. This is despite the rest of the nation being a bastion of prejudice, racially segregated housing, unemployment, and poverty. Well, here is your proof. Instead of writing off an entire region for their historical sins, why not support the grassroots efforts of the minority communities and the blue dots in the sea of red? Maybe now we can illuminate national hypocrisies regarding those same problematic social structures beyond the Mason-Dixon line. like, the south is objectively terrible towards minorities and the poor, let's not pretend there is a parity here between the rest of the country and the south w/r/t poverty, unemployment, and prejudice it is true that there are racial issues every where, but these silly southerners I live with are way too myopic and self-absorbed. its like a reverse beltway bubble --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:892162579] in southerner...

If you stereotyped and ridiculed almost any other group or region the way you guys do with the south, you'd probably be the first to cry bigotry. The litmus test for you libs is to take any of those sentences you think are acceptable about bashing the south and replace "Alabama" with "Africa" and "southerners" with "blacks."

We're pretty deep in the north. yes, there is more housing segregation in other areas of the country for two reasons -- the federal government has enforced it more, due to the worse history of discrimination here, and there are larger levels of income and wealth inequality in other areas because the south overall is more likely to be poor.

Saying you're less racist because you don't have any people that look different from you isn't saying much. All that said, I don't think I've ever been in a "racist" place in my life. Maybe in Asia, but that's not really the same kind of racism that people talk about here. People in small towns have generally been nice and friendly no matter what part of the country I'm in, but maybe it's different if you live there. I've lived in San Jose, California, Cabot, Arkansas, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Washington, DC there are definitely racists in all those places, but you're delusional if you think it's equal. For one thing, to your rural point, the south is much less urbanized than NE overall, though Maine and Vermont are outliers. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:892167954] in southerner...

As someone who's lived in both places, I don't really buy the stereotype that the south is more racist. Up in new england there are a hell of a lot less black and hispanic people, and people out in the country don't seem any different from rural folk down south. Different accent, but that's about it.

Im just still wondering why @The_Admiral assumed this topic was about black people specifically when nothing in the OP suggests that does it? I mean yeah Alabama is well-known as being racist towards blacks but in my experience its well-known for being racist against everything else, too To be fair, when people talk about racism in the Southern US, the face of that topic is overwhelmingly black. Racism against other minority demographics is there, but takes a backseat to racism against blacks. That's probably because in places like Tennessee Georgia and the like the majority of people are black or white. School I went to didn't have a single asian person and only a couple hispanics but you can damn well bet there is racism against them.
