Take it easy. My point was that is how liberals perceive so-called old school rednecks and what they would supposedly say in the 2000’s. Not to say anything negative about Southerners in general. That lib hoaxer couldn’t even be a good anti-Southerner bigot. And BTW, IMHO, southern whites were less “racist” than northern whites both in 1950 and today. They got a bad rap in the media, because all that was shown were the vocal racists yelling at black people and treating them shamefully. The media never showed the vast majority of Southerners who weren’t and aren’t racist. The whites in that region had a lot more interaction with black people than northerners, and valued them as friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. In the north, blacks were more likely to live in urban neighborhoods that had less interaction with whites, thus less chance to get to know them that way. I can’t speak for NYC, but I knew a heck of a lot more racists in the Midwest than I ever did in the South.
