Tony,
You forget too easily. I already told you that many moons ago.
Today, I will be more specific...about
36% of individuals that live in Southern states believe in the Confederacy...a confederacy that not only lost the civil war but a confederacy ideology that assassinated the 1st Republican President of America...a President that would be a Democrat in today's political environment.
Just in case you're curious, the same confederacy ideology is believed by
23% of individuals in Northern states.
Why so little in the South and so many in the North ???
It's simple..thanks to airplanes, trains, automobiles, and large corporations with offices all over America...it is very easy for individuals to
migrate from one region to the next region.
An analogy, a racist from a Southern state in America that moves to Vermont for a job opportunity or college...the person is still a racist living that now lives in the North and vice versa because of
migration.
- Nearly one-quarter of Americans (23%) said they sympathized more with the Confederacy. Sympathy for the Confederacy was higher in the South (36%) than in the West (11%) or Northeast (13%).
Simply, don't be brainwashed into believing just because someone live in the South...it's a person that believes in the Confederacy, KKK, White Nationalism, or White Supremacy. Seriously, it's only about 36%...not as much as you seem to believe.
Regardless,
it's still too many in America that believe in an ideology that undermines equality and a lot of them reside in the North. Seriously, the state of Illinois, California, and New York (the big three that are stronghold states for Democrats)...these three states have pockets of strong support for the Confederacy in suburbs and cities within each of those states.
It's because of
migration in the population.
Another point I'm making after having the opportunity to live in Southern states and Northern states...most of the racism I saw against Blacks, Hispanic and Indigenous...it occurred in the Northern states.
Seriously, review your own message post history involving racism...most of those stories involved racists in the North (e.g. Vigilante kills black homeless man in
New York)...
My point, racism is everywhere in America...not as much as you believe it is in the South.
