I posted this in another thread and found it worthy of its own thread.

Here is the difference (by example) between northern racists and southern racists:

Southern racist: "Youns a damn n#%*&$!!!!!! I'll take ye out Buckhannon way and learn ye!"

Northern racist: "Oh, there is a black guy over there! Lock the door!" (sipping a latte', in her Jetta speeding back to the 'burbs after attending a fundraiser for school lunches for young black students in the inner city)

    ...and it appears that the Southern racists would rather vote for Obama than Hillbilly. :D

    You more or less got it. Southerners are more open with their attitudes.

    maybe I'm lucky but I do not experience any signs of racism in Chicago. which is historically known for such things. I think it's gotten better as time has gone on.

    There was/is a West coast vs east coast rappers feud going on where two big name rappers (Tupac and Biggie) were murdered. Just a dumb reference on my part !

    no reference is ever dumb if ya have pure intent....then, biggie/shortie is a near miss on your comment....


    totally cool in that respect...

    however, racism/segragationist/controll freaks, hell they walk in all lifes and in all social scenes...it's when we attach ourselves to one group and follow that group, is when all the shit happens...(shit--meaning doubt, becasuse we become fixed in our reception)....

    i always think of the more narrow minded as those who have allowed their thinking to become fossilized...

    this is why i like that blade of grass theory i always am referrring to....

    and if we think about nature a bit....not all species are co-existant in any one particular habitat...

    the best way to curb all this, is to find true peace and to monitor as well as, develop one's own heart of heart...peace....

    you are an enlightening servant..

    usually people attach themselves to a false sense of belonging because he/she has experienced a difference in the love that is/was recieved and the love that is/was needed. the only way we can fill that bridge is by looking within and truly seeking out what our BEings want to reflect...what is perfect and pleasing to our individuality and uniqueness...

    oki, my words of encouragement for this day...

    gotta get to writing in that gratitude book...


    it's like the word in humpty dumpty

    humpty dumpty sat on a wall
    humpty dumpty had a great fall
    all the kings men and all the kings people
    couldn't put humpty dumpty together again










    only humpty can do that work.....even though it takes a village to help ol hump.....;)

    Not in the way that people experience it, no. Most racism is quite subtle. It may often manifest itself in just a look, or a passing comment. I don't think that Western whitey - excluding the Jews - really understands what it's like to be on the receiving end of racism.
    Maybe Jlew's right, and there isn't any racism in Chicago - or at least, very little of it. But until I hear that corroborated by a black Chicagoan{sic?}, then I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

    Of course there are others who try so hard to find it that they imagine they see it everywhere.

    I've seen racism in the form of employment discrimination where I work practiced by all of the rainbow. Some people get hired, some people don't, some people get overtime despite spending the whole week on the internet or just 'looking' busy, other people don't. And, I live in Seattle.

    My ex once went to Alabama. He came back shocked describing a sign that read "Niggers be out by dark."

    Very sad.
