No. Not at all. It's liberal brainwashing.

>>83145727
Yes.
yeah
>>83145727
Maybe if you're in some shitty ass poor town in buttfuck nowhere. Most southerners are pretty friendly though.
>>83145727
Yeah, those fucking niggers act like they own the place and like telling young kids what to do
>>83145727
Nope. I've lived in south Carolina for 20 years and I've met a few closet racists, and one barber who was strongly confederate. Apart from that no one really gives a fuck because black people are everywhere. Im pretty sick of the racist southerner stereotype but I don't think it'll ever go away.
Yes. I'm reporting from Lousiville, KY. It's normal to see woman with black eyes walking down the streets and kids running around shirtless in alleys. Little white kids don't exist down here but instead we have young black kids who really are spiteful towards any white people. Rascism goes both ways and it's really palpable once you cross the border with Kentucky being the entrance.
It's still really beautiful in a lot of areas though.
>>83145875
Correction, there's no outright rascism. Just tension everywhere.
>>83145727
Because most niggers don't dress and act like that. They dress and act like this.
Surprisingly only when I went to school in the south over a decade ago, and even then it was only from kids whose parents would be closet racists. Also, I wasn't THAT south. (Kernersveille, NC)

Yeah, that and the constant rape and poverty. Same thing in the Midwest, too, except they don't have any black people to treat like shit and their women are too fat to beat up, rape or commit any kind of physical trauma to, so they just masturbate to news reports. The coasts, though - literally nirvana. There's a reason they have to constantly remind everyone of the current year (aside from the associated "right side of history" rhetoric they slapped onto it) - because the rest of the nation is centuries behind. Super-stratified wealth is a small price to pay for making sure your shit doesn't stink, and it really shows.

I'm from the South, and lived there most of my life. I know people exactly like the author of this story - white Southerners who spent their whole childhood indoors on the Internet assuming that everyone around them was secretly a superracist and, due to the fact that THEY NEVER ACTUALLY ENCOUNTER A BLACK PERSON IN DAY TO DAY LIFE, allowing their own nonexperiences to convine them they're correct.
>>83145847

I've lived here for twice that long and you're so full of shit your eyes are brown.
People (for the most part) are not like that in Charleston and the further inland you get the more likely you are to see naked racism rear it's head.
Here's an example from 2010 that made national news (that's a Republican state Sen. named Jake Knotts talking about a fellow Republican (who was eventually elected Governor) Nikki Haley.):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq5xMT3z560
Obviously not everyone down here is an asshole (she DID get elected); but there were plenty of people screaming when the Confederate Flag came down off the monument in front of the State House last year.

I didn't hear the end of that for months down here in Texas.
>>83146264
The person you responded to. I live in Texas, have for most of my life. Worst I've seen when younger was a black kid throw a sandwich out of a school bus at a mexican selling oranges at the ride of the road. Told him to go feed his family. Bus driver saw this, stopped the bus, and had the kid go apologize or else she'd call the police.

Joking aside, I will still wager that he spent his youth indoors - if not with computers, then non interacting with the outside world. He fucking writes comics for a living, for God's sake.
my father was both very racist and very emotional. he would lose control over his emotions when he got mad at something a black person would do
but in public, he was better at getting along with black people than anyone else Ive ever met, he spoke their language somehow
there's a complex lesson there, but the simple takeaway is that overt, public, verbal disrespect only happens when people get pushed into an uncomfortable situation: its never casual

My dad is similar. In public, super jovial and gets along superbly well with black people. In private, he truly believes that blacks are the cause of every ill in modern society that aren't being caused by muslims. I always wondered if he recognized the dissonance that every real world interaction he had with blacks were fairly positive while simultaneously despising their existence.

I know of someone who's a ridiculous racist, drug addict and a dick, but he's not racist to people's faces. He's a miserable shit though so Karma has him. I knew more people in the North that were far more racist in front of their subjects because they don't have it ingrained in them that they are shit for doing so.
I think the real myth is that racism is contained to the south.

Fits a description.
I don't live in the south, but most of my mom's cousins live in Kentucky. So from an outsider's perspective, it's not usually that overt but it can get tense. That said, when my Korean father went to meet the family, one of my relatives told him "My pappy killed your kind in the war." And another one has a confederate flag tattooed on his leg. But I think it'd be hard to tell in most cases, since it's a behind closed doors kind of thing, or kids that don't know any better calling each other slurs on the schoolyard. And that kids calling each other slurs kind of thing happens anywhere with a mixed population, I've been called chink/gook plenty and called friends wetbacks, beaners, spics, etc.
But then again, there's some towns that resist desegregating schools. Not enough to paint the whole South as racist though. And here in California, I know people that knew less than ten people that weren't Asian/White at their high schools (and would hate it if "inner-city/urban" kids were there), so people in different parts of the states aren't too much better.
>>83147528

As someone who was born and raised and once again lives in Alabama (not to mention has been around the country), I can tell you this:
The South is no more or no less racist than the rest of the country. It has its good parts and its bad parts. It all depends on where you are.

Contrary to popular belief most people in the south are decent people.

Which is stupid, since it's the southernmost part of the continental US and almost every stereotype of the deep south applies to parts of it, even North Florida. Hell, once you go south enough you've basically hit Deliverance country with people from the West Indies mixed in.

>Did I miss the part where they needed armed National Guardsmen to desegregate the schools in NYC, then?
You probably missed when it happened in Alabama, since you weren't even alive and it was 1963.
You might as well say they're racist because they're slave owners. Or because the South is a bog only inhabited by thunder lizards that refuse to allow black people to move in.
>>83148169
These things happened 50 to 60 years ago. Times change.
Meanwhile, in liberal bastions like Seattle or San Francisco, they keep blacks on the other side of town and don't go to the south side because of "the blacks."
>>83147944
>it's the southernmost part of the continental US
Geographically, yes. But culturally it's a weird mix of Snow Birds and Retirees (there are counties in South Florida that are majority Jewish ffs) as well as Cubans.
That's not to say that you don't get White Trash living in Trailer Parks (because god knows that you DO); but it's not like GA, LA, or SC where most of the people you meet in any of the smaller towns have family going back several generations.
Honestly never seen it in all my years living in Texas. Seen plenty of black stereo types come true, but never the whole open racism thing.
From the time I've spent in the south it's not typically that overt outside the deepest of the deep, but yeah, there's an entire swath of this country that grudgingly lives alongside but still deeply hates black people.
The "flag isn't about racism, it's about heritage" thing is pretty hilarious when the heritage is mostly composed of slave-owning, uppity-lynching, voter-disnefranching racism.

The Civil Rights Act came into place in 1963.
Being proud of the Confederate Flag was in response to people claiming that it was a symbol of oppression. In exchange they said it was a symbol of pride.

KY is weird because it's right between the South and the Midwest. It kind of has the worst of both, to be honest. Plenty of Confederate flag waving, but without much of a sense of history/tradition/culture. Just contemporary Nashville country music, dipping, and getting mad about coal.
That said, I'm sure that incidents like the one depicted in OP do happen semi-frequently around here. But the times are changing, there were several interracial couples at my sister's prom a couple of years ago, when even 15-20 years ago that still would have been pretty shocking.

Black anon in the South here.
Not really. There's a few racist people, and the dating game is a bit more difficult because you're pocketed into either fat chicks, or other black people. Though that's more of a universal thing; black people are pretty much the least desirable of all races in the dating market.
That's not to say there aren't white people that will go out with you, you're just handicapped in that department from birth. SJW's don't really go out with black people, either. Not unless they're the -- as the nomenclature goes in these parts -- "high yellow" sort. You know, very fair skinned black people. If you look too much like a continental African, you'll have the devil's own job of ever dating outside of your race.
>>83148588
>I'm sure that incidents like the one depicted in OP do happen semi-frequently around here.
Why? You just assumin', or...?
The American South isn't one big thing. It's like when people lump all the countries in the UK together culturally. There's the Appalachias, the deep South (antebellum south? not sure on the proper term for that), Florida, the Southwest (Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas). And it's all culturally different.
I'm from the Appalachian mountains and it's not like that around here. We don't see many black people, but we don't give a shit about them, either. If we stare, it's only because it's an unusual sight, and we'll probably catch ourselves and stop and act proper. We'll wave, say hello, ask you about your day and how your relatives are doing. We've got a lot of Mexicans as migrant farm workers, and we just cohabitate. That's just the experience in my area.
By contrast, my parents got divorced when I was little and my dad moved to Cincinnati. Racism was rampant in both directions, people were total douchebags to each other, no one cared about strangers.
In the Appalachian mountains skin color didn't matter (sexual orientation didn't even matter, it just wasn't something to be talked about), because there was this sense of kinship. Even if you just met a person. About the only thing no one would abide was rudeness. There was never a call for that.

The “redneck hillbillies” in that Arkansas bar could have laughed with the three Klan members, or said nothing at all. Instead, they stood up for me—an outsider—and made it known that the Klan wasn’t welcome there. On the other hand, I assumed a group of liberal, college-educated volunteers would ooze warmth and solidarity. But in class that night, I didn’t feel especially welcome. And I felt ashamed for judging that woman’s life based entirely on her appearance.

In case you forgot, South Carolina pulled down their confederate flag.
In regards to your (cherry picked) videos:
1-Jake Knotts was voted out of office, the people of South Carolina did not want him. They did however, want the "raghead" he was actually referring to, Nikki Haley, as governor. The "racist and sexist" South Carolina voted in a woman who was raised as a Sikh.
2-Its well known how the daily show, of which Bee is an alumnus, edits video to strengthen their point. That's not even getting into the fact that one person is not at all representative of an entire state.

It's not "okay" when anyone does it. "Racism = prejudice + power" is bullshit.
Having said that, American black people don't have hundreds of years of institutionalized power behind their racism, so it's not quite as bad for a black person to be racist as it is for a white person.
>>83148731
I don't mean to be that guy.
But that Jive mother fucker needs a grill.
There are many privately racist people. Among friends and family no one gives a fuck but in public or in dealing with actual minorities people are more respectful. Children are often openly racist because they don't know any better.
That's not to say there aren't openly racist people but that's a vocal minority at best.
Not really. Not where I am.
I'm a greasy, truck-driving redneck who hangs out with the blackest people imaginable. It's like a weird cultural ethnic mash-up. Like, imagine being in a room, right? Like half of it's black guys and the other half is is bearded white guys.
Pot smoke hangs in the air like a vein. A blunt is passed around. Jokes are made.
There's some talk about pro-wrestling since two of the guys there work for a local indie promotion. Someone brings up DBZ briefly, another talks about the problems he's been having with his car.
Phrases like 'No problem, senpai' or 'He cut!' intermingle with the word 'wash' being pronounced with an 'R'.
Then we play Dungeons and Dragons. The DM has a rebel flag beltbuckle. The blackest dude starts asking about his level 8 half-orc shaman with a blunt still in his mouth.

Because they don't know their actual culture and basing it solely around slave descent is depressing. White Pride is usually just White Supremacists because anyone actually interested in Hereditary Pride can trace back to an actual Nation.
That said, like the Confederate flag if you want, but you can't be shocked when people acknowledge that the country was founded to maintain the right of slaveholding. I mean us Americans love our Stubborn rebellion, we idolize criminals constantly, so I can't really say it's right to limit it especially when a lot of the people who fly that shit share actual blood with the Confederates sthen again so do most the people offended by itand it's a pretty nice Flag
First, I'm amazed at how well this comic actually handles race in the deep south.
Second, the woman in OP's image actually grew up in the south. Note that she's surprised by the reaction? That's no accident.

I live in South Florida. 90% of the whites at work are openly racist. I work at a fortune 500 company too. The cleaning crew go on vacation every time the CEOs are in town and a crew of white cleaners show up for a few days. That's the worst it gets though. Nobody openly discriminates because they know lawyers will tear them a new one. I'm sure the Manager works some magic to get the cleaners to go on vacation that line up and overlap CEOs visits

There was a recent hub bub because people wanted people wanted to change the name of an elementary school near Austin because it was named after Robert E. Lee. I remember it being funny because a lot of people voted to change the name to Hitler elementary but the school district will probably change it to Harper Lee in order to keep the name.
The entire situation reminded me of that one South Park episode.

This is brilliant delusion for a number of reasons. "Redneck bumpkins have prejudices due to living in one place and having never met a colored person, and they learned it on the internet, the largest depository of human knowledge from various cultures in human history."
If what you said reflected reality in any way (it doesn't,) then it sounds like they were made into racists because they learned a ton about other races and came to the conclusion, based on evidence, that they fucking suck.

I have about as much respect for proto-/pol/ as I did when I watched The Dukes of Hazard for the first time, but the dustup last year made me lose a lot of respect for people who treated it like some sort of revelation. All that shit was known. I'm fucking Jamaican and even I knew the baggage around it. Anybody who waited until 2015 to say "hey, maybe we should do something about this flag" is either a kid, or they were ignorant enough to get blindsided by it and stupid enough to think taking some damn flags down actually did something other than trigger rockabilly fanboys.

I agree, my melanin-deprived friend. That's why Obama is going to implement a reparations system, where all non-blacks must pay a yearly sum of $20,000 in order to make amends for something they took absolutely no part in. It's okay to implement such a racist policy because no one has had institutionalized racism to the degree black people have.

>>83148937
Sir, that's classic 'what about-ism'. You're saying that other people should stop being upset about things because other people have it worse, which is an unrealistic and unfair suggestion.
The simple acknowledgement of 'Yeah, okay, I can understand that' would be fine and dandy without going straight into attempting to shame the other person.Also, the north were the aggressors and Abe Lincoln was a racist who let some people keep slave privileges after the war.And slavery was only defended because the southern economy was completely dependent on it, unlike the industrialized north. It was a lose-lose situation, but good job on being judgmental on people who pride themselves on their 17-year-old ancestor going to war because he was told the north was invading and going after his family. Y'know, the 17-year-old who never owned slaves since you had to be rich to do so.

>>83148946
And that's bad.
It's still not comparable to hundreds of years of slavery, consequence-free rape and murder, economic and political disenfranchisement, etc. Consequences of that legacy still affect the everyday lives of black people (and other people of color) around the whole country.
Which is why when people talk about how the flag represents "state's rights" I hear "to own slaves" and when they talk about "heritage" I hear "that owned slaves and tried to protect the ownership of slaves in the bloodiest war this nation has ever seen."
The existence of racism and racist acts within the black community is bad. It doesn't rewrite history.

None of the high ranking members of the Confederacy deserve any respect at all, except maybe an acknowledgement of their skill in warfare.

>'Yeah, okay, I can understand that'
I've done that elsewhere, but it's always brought up to shoot down the more concrete and widespread issues blacks face in America today. Everything can be traced back to southern slavery. People try very hard to minimize or distance the present from slavery, which is like claiming that universal expansion doesn't exist because the Big Bang happened a really long time ago.
It's not cool the way my ancestors were stereotyped as drunk, violent wife-beaters and pope-worshippers and most of my fellow Americans celebrate their Irish heritage by dressing in green and drinking till they pass out. It's not cool that we still feel comfortable stereotyping and mocking working-class and poverty-stricken whites in America. But neither of those are relevant when we talk about the legacy of slavery in the United States, and bringing them up is a derailing tactic.
South fired the first shots and were hypocritically crying "States' rights" while demanding the federal government enforce fugitive slave laws in free states.
1/3 of the total southern population owned slaves, up to half in certain slave states. Pretty sure that's more than the percentage of people who currently invest in a 401k.
I judge the people who try to claim the war was never about slavery when slavery was written into the constitution of the Confederacy.
>Georgian Democrat Alexander H. Stephens, the Confederacy's eventual vice president stated that the Confederate constitution was "decidedly better than" the American one, as it "put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution. African slavery as it exists amongst us; the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the 'rock upon which the old Union would split.' He was right."
>>83148890
The difference being one wasn't literally founded on the right to maintain slavery while the other was founded on other principles....and just condoned Slavery. Fly it if you like but don't just whitewash history and feed me "Heritage, Not Hate" line that's shit straight from the horses ass. I won't say that Flag can't mean different things to different people, but that History is there. You can't hide behind it while simultaneously running from it.

Which is exactly why it's immoral to fly the US flag. Nothing the CSA did rivals what the US has done. They reacted because their economy was dependent on slavery, and so after the war was over their economy crashed and thousands of people (former slaves included) starved. Good job.
The north didn't fight to prevent slavery. They fought to prevent secession. They couldn't have cared less about black people since Abe Lincoln was a white supremacist.

I do see a lot of rednecks with Confederate flags plastered all over their trucks or motorcycles, but there's honestly not a lot of overt racism. I live in one of the nicer parts of town, but it's still so small it's hard to go anywhere and not cross into the shitty areas too.
