So the countless accounts of blacks in the south concerning racism mean nothing? I say that as a black person who is in the South and whose family originates from there.
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoDid they say it meant nothing? No. Theyre just saying its more complicated than "all the south = racist" which is obviously true on its face
- x86_64Ubuntu 4y agoThey're saying it's "more complicated than that" as a way to get away from the truth which is the South has always had race and white supremacy as a cornerstone of it's society.
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoHow do you know that? To me its sounding like they are saying "it's more complicated than that" as a way of saying - hey, yeah, racism exists in the south and is probably far more prevalent there than other places in the US, but there is a perception that every community in the south is racist on the whole, and that most or all individuals in the south are raised to be prejudiced. Well that idea is obviously wrong, and is prejudiced view to have of the south, ironically.
