I don't know about "up north" but you sure as hell don't see racism out here in the west. We have better things to do with our time than sit around unemployed drinking moonshine and lamenting about how "superior" we are to that other skin color.

Southerners get along better with black people because they have more in common with blacks than liberal dogooders.

Californians obsess about a person's color. They often want you to know how tolerant they are, which to me is childish & focuses only on race.

The South is more let it be.

First of all. California cops love to beat up "Negros".

They say ignorance is bliss. You certainly must be full of bliss.

I see I have upset some southern Dixie nerves. If so, I humbly apologize. I didn't mean ALL southerners were unemployed moonshine drinking racist. Some of them actually do have jobs and buy their whiskey legit. Well, except on Sunday anyway!

Sure they do, an average American black has about 20 something % of the white blood in him/her. I'm just lazy to look up a source. An average American white has black blood too, because of the blacks who "diluted" their black blood to the point of becoming a white.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American_Lives


With the help of geneticists, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. put African American ancestry in these terms:
  • 58 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5 percent European ancestry (equivalent of one great-grandparent);
  • 19.6 percent of African Americans have at least 25 percent European ancestry (equivalent of one grandparent);
  • 1 percent of African Americans have at least 50 percent European ancestry (equivalent of one parent); and
  • 5 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5 percent Native American ancestry (equivalent to one great-grandparent).[3]
Many whites have varying amounts of Native American and African ancestry. In a recent study, Gonçalves et al. 2007 reported Sub-Saharan and Amerindian mtDna lineages at a frequency of 3.1% (respectively 0.90% and 2.2%) in White Americans of European descent.[49] In another study, about 30% of all White Americans, approximately 66 million people, have a median of 2.3% of Black African admixture.
