I grew up in a lovely midwestern town, then nafta ended and the vile filth infested us and brought their crime and drugs with them, my town became a nightmare in 2 years.
The rest of the country didn’t want slavery, they didn’t want Jim Crow, they didn’t try to elect segregationists.
Our evil was very, VERY centralized, and it was our mistake for not dealing with them properly after the civil war and preventing their pestilence from spreading.
If Southern anti-segregationists and civil rights groups had not stood firm against discrimination, Jim Crow would have never ended.
“Southerners” is not a synonym for ex-slaveowners and segregationists. Denigrating the entirety of the South for the actions of a few is gross.
Also, your remarks have lead me to believe that you seem to think racism simply never existed in the North, which is just an entirely laughable concept.
Some of the most violent resistance to the civil rights movement, was in Chicago, a lovely Midwestern town as you might put it.

Please, the south stood firm for discrimination, they stood so firm the south switched parties en masse in reaction to civil rights.
Just like 100 years earlier the south had to be drug to decency at gunpoint.

I am brown, and partly grew up in the south, and Midwest, and the coasts.
PLEASE!!! Lecture me on how racism is equal everywhere and not just massively and brutally expressed in the south.
I am DYING to hear how my experiences were all a lie.
Many of us have reason to hate the south, just like I’m sure a lot of Jews had bad feelings about the nazis.
And the nazis actually copied many of their policies from the south verbatim, particularly the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow.
If the south had a single grain of decency and shame within them, they’d spontaneously combust, lucky for them they don’t.
‘We can’t be mad at nazis because there might be some good ones.’
I think Putin used that line about Russians when he invaded Ukraine too.
I escaped the south, and it was incredible, like fleeing Somalia, many others did the same.
That’s the problem, you see, all the decent humans are desperate to leave and the ones who do are happy.
Which just evolves the south further and further down into its own shit.
I don’t care if there is a minority of decent southerners, just like I don’t care if there were decent officers in the wehrmacht while the SS battalions rounded up jews for the ovens.
No, but they originated from the South.

FFS, how do you think Jim Crow ended?

A geographical region is not uniform in it’s beliefs. You can dislike an area without claiming everyone who lives there is evil.
It is idiotic (and fascistic) to say that the ENTIRE population of an ENTIRE geographic region are ALL demons. It’s simply not true.
If you grew up in the south, you are literally self-deprecating by saying such things.

Those with the ability and money can leave, but some don’t have these things. So what about them? Does that make them evil?
Because a fisherman who happens to live where they were born, is the same as soldier who chose to join an army with very explicit political goals.
Nonsense.
