[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4570683, member: 24302"] As I pointed out most people got along fine. But we had whites making comments like blacks were swinging from the trees openly at my station. That murder that I mentioned happened in in a town of three thousand in a heavily forested area of southern Mississippi. I didn't have to go look for it, it was often in my face. The blacks I met in that region were the most docile, kind blacks I've known in the U.S. I also spent three years in Memphis and the blacks there were often aggressive and in your face but a lot of them were still great people. The whites I knew in Memphis and Mississippi were often wonderful too until they started talking about blacks. The nicest church going people would practically go into a rage talking about blacks. It was as if that was where they channeled all of their anger about the world in general. It's a real thing where there are large populations of both groups. Having lived in other parts of the country I've also many times run up against many whites who automatically assumed I was a racist because I'm from the South. They are conditioned to think this way. Show me a movie that's set in the South and I will show you a scene where blacks are shown to be very friendly to the white protagonist. It lets white liberals know that this is one of the good white Southerners, it's ok to like him. Seriously, watch any movie set in the South and see if that's not so. [/QUOTE]
