I mean, we're talking about Duke- they call that "Thursday."

I know that’s right. North Carolina is, hands-down, the most racist state I’ve ever been in. I mean they fucking HATE black people there, for real.

[u/newbrookland → u/Unfair_Finger5531]

Is that the only "Southern" state you've been to, because you're missing out on some really elite racism.

I grew up in the south, went to college in Vermont. I was shocked how public and blatant the racism is in the north. Are there a lot of old racists in the south? Obviously. You know who else there are a lot of in the south? Black people. The racists in the south kept to their little ignorant racist jerk off bubbles, in the north they were wayyy more open about it. I’ve never heard a single white person say the n word out loud in the south. Dozens of times in the north.

Never lived up north, but you're right. I'm white, so I have the distinct privelege of hearing all the shit they wouldn't say around you.

Grown up in the north (have lived in NY and RI, MA and NH), went to school in Virginia, worked in Ohio. Never been to the south for any length of time. Racism was worst in Ohio. Never been called the n word in the north.

Best racism hands down.

Hey don’t sleep on the northwest racists. Washington has a really good team this year.

[u/Unfair_Finger5531 → u/newbrookland]

Nope. I spent a good amount of my adult life in the South: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama—been to all of them.

And YET, it is the racism in NC that strikes me the most. It was so hostile. The only place similar was Miami, broward county, where the people were not only racist but generally unlikable and miserable.

That’s my take on the south. Glad I’m not there anymore and don’t plan on going back.

That said, now I’m in the southwest, and this is a whole new level of racism. So there’s that. But, no, I’ve lived all over this great nation. North Carolina for the win. The people are venal, nasty, aggressive racists.

My guy. Spend a day in Mississippi or Alabama and tell me if you still feel that way.

[u/Unfair_Finger5531 → u/SophiaPetrillo_]

Been to both. North Carolina stood out to me because the white people there were openly and aggressively hostile. In Alabama and Mississippi, they were just like “fuck off and get out of town before we kill you.” But In NC, they wanted a fight.

I’ve been to Biloxi. It was delightful and the food was great. Stayed a night in Mobile, AL and another in by orange beach without incident.

Missouri enters the chat

[u/Unfair_Finger5531 → u/trentonharrisphotos]

Fair enough. But the hate in North Carolina is visceral and aggressive. In Missouri, it was kind of simmering with a flyover state fake niceness.

You wanna clarify that statement?
