That's one of the perks of living in the south; at least when someone is racist, we know.
If my ball went into some old white man's yard "Get off my property you N**** before I get my shotgun!".
And that has actually happened to me before.
This is true! Its easier to spot a racist in the south. Like Dave Chappelle said "Its comfortable , its out in the open..." esp in the more rural areas.
honestly, i don't think america is as "over" racism/biggotry as the general consensus thought it was...
all types of stuff is out in the open now. the whole AZ thing, the shots at obama, the image of the tea party (whether they feel its deserved or not), rand paul's views, etc. etc.
hell, even when obama was running, the clintons led a pretty eyebrow raising campaign IMO.
sometimes i don't know about this country. this is not just back woods stuff at all. a vast amount of ppl in this country feel a certain way. this has nothing to do with party affiliation, either.
Yeah there is still bigotry with Al Sharpton running around
so true! When I lived in FL there was a biker bar with a big sign that read "NO N***ERS". It kind of shocked me
but to answer this thread, the Detroit area for sure. One trip to the Detroit forum alone will prove this. smh
Yeah Ive never had that happen but Ive had encounters with em. You can definitely pick em out. Im not saying its racist people just in the south cause They are EVERYWHERE even in your "PROGRESSIVE" "LETS HOLD HANDS AND SING KUMBAYA" type of cities
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

so true! but RT I'd rather a person be upfront than fake about it

I am not sure if they are being fake, vs out in the open. I don't think racism is a black and white issue I think it is more of a degree of hatred. Ranging from the plain ignorant,fearful of differences, lack of contact, cultural ties, to the actual pure hatred/anger/action. It is pretty apparent if you confront people when they do this, you'll find out if it is just ignorance and they might be "enlightened" or it is just pure hatred.
They basically live on stereotypes in the southern cal area and people are superficial. In many cases they will let their racism show if you do some things to provoke.
