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.

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.
