87. There is racism in all of the states but its more blatant and out there in the south
Edited on Sun Aug-02-09 06:24 PM by Jennicut
I am from CT...in certain cities in Mass and CT there is the old style Irish and Italian neighborhoods that had a long standing issues with the African Americans in the same neighborhood. It was who was the last on the totem poll. My Grandmother spoke about this to me, foreigners were considered low but no one was as low as the poor blacks in the neighborhood. So it exists.
Now, for the birther polls....the most extreme Rethugs live more in the South and there could be racism there as well.
