Dude, I grew up in Texas and had only heard about racism second hand, like in terms of history. Nobody I knew growing up cared. Then I move to Minnesota later on and find it all over the darn place. You think that's funny? Where I grew up in the "evil republican south" or whatever the heck you want to call it, I had not known of racism personally; apart from hearing about it academically or hearing stereotypes of Texans portrayed on television I had not known of it whatsoever. As an adult living in the North, this wonderful bloody "utopia" of intellect, racism isn't just alive and well, it's stinking thriving! I hear people saying racist remarks about how "white folk" aren't to be trusted, how "gavachos estan pendijos", how employers need to "hire more minorities to make certain that they aren't racist". I had never heard such garbage when I lived down in Texas for the entire first 17 years of my life, but in the blasted North such thoughts are expressed ubiquitously. It is simply abhorrent to me.

Hey, take back that back, I have never defended the Yankees they are racist as hell.

I grew up around DFW and Denton. Irving and Carrollton were where I lived before my dad died of lung cancer, and then Denton was where I lived after my mom met my stepdad. To be honest, the racism in St. Paul wasn't so bad, but it was still perceivable somewhat. In Minneapolis however, ... good grief there are so many morons!

I worked for a bit in Shreveport La. across the river from Longview TX. in the 90's (it was not a post-racial area at that time.)
I also did some work in extreme West Texas the folk there we very nice but had some anti-Indian/Mexican notions I did not really understand.

I'm guessing the extreme West Texas area was probably right next to the border, perhaps near Cuidad Juarez? Murder capital of Mexico? Or maybe just proximity to the border may be the cause for them due to how quickly entry level work is snatched up by immigrants. That might be the cause of some of the resentment, but the same would be true of attitudes towards Canadians if immigrants from Canada were flooding the job market locally. Canada however has its economy in working order, especially compared to many Latin American nations which have a worse economic situation than merely dealing with RINOs and Democrats who accuse others of racism if they don't elect their sunbaked candidate.

It was not about borders but about customs. Traditionally people in the border states are less
hung up about undocumented migration in AZ (where I lived for more than a decade)
the rabid anti-mexicans are usually transplants from Minnesota
. . . is there a pattern forming here? weird I typed that and then remembered what you said about that wonderful state.

That is priceless, yes.
I can further corroborate the northern racism phenomenon, my wife having been my 3rd black significant other, with some other non-white ones over the years. My wife moved around a lot before ending up in Seattle, the last few places being New Orleans, Albuquerque, and Portland with a short stay in Boulder, and she'll flat out tell you that she's never seen racism like in Seattle. I'd previously noted this due to my own dating preferences, but the hearing it from a non-local with significant southern residency really confirmed it for me. The thing that drives her particularly crazy is clerks constantly asking her where she's from, and being shocked when they discover she lives here, especially when this happens with the same people repeatedly. Our police are pretty awful too, last I heard the FBI was taking a look at the Seattle department over repeated civil rights violations involving minorities and some pretty alarming use of force incidents. The current "champ" of crazy was the police tasering a 7 months pregnant black woman in the neck because she nonviolently refused to sign a traffic ticket, and then having the use of force ruled justified. Hard to believe that's a contemporary Seattle story and not some civil rights era incident in Alabama or Mississippi.
It really does feel like the people around here are so busy patting them selves on the back because of their "progressiveness" that they don't even notice the casual racism they practice, it's pretty mind boggling when you see it in action day to day.

What's really sad is when those same "progressives" talk about southerners derogatorily as being "redneck hillbilly racist crackers".

I wonder how that cop votes.
I am sure its democrat straight party ticket.

Probably so actually, but only they'd know for certain.
I think the silliness comes in with the broad generalization.
The human mind likes to put things into two categories Good and Bad even though
thoughtful people know those two categories are nearly meaningless in regard to individuals
I know scores of thoughtful, moral, kind Republicans and just as many degenerate Leftists
but on the whole I agree with morality of the left mostly the communitarian and libertarian socialist left
rather than the Democrats (although at present I like them more then the mess the G.O.P. has become).

And when Obama does, what are you going to do?
-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer
When Obama does what? Get reelected? If there are actually enough American idiots to actually reelect him, then I'm going get phonebooks from every state and district that votes blue and add them to my "They need to put a helmet on" list. Perhaps if I ever have enough money I'll buy dunce caps that say, "You idiot, you voted to reelect Obama!" for ever person of those districts and states. Heck, I will make sure their caps are made out of paper too just to tick off the environmentalists while I'm at it.
Well, my suggestion to you is, start buying dunce hats, because if you're serious about your plan, you're going to need them.
