Message: [QUOTE="garddog, post: 3578239, member: 8860"] It isn't just police brutality. I have lived and traveled all over the US. There is racism everywhere, from all sides, but I have seen less in the South. Most people try to give the South and especially MS a bad name and it was deserved 50 to 60 years ago. My generation grew up in an integrated society that is 50% minority. I played sports, went to school and hung out with everyone. My parents generation, not so. I have had conversations with them about how they speak and most of the time they get it, but it is still ingrained from childhood. I have other family members and friends that live up north and out west that grew up in areas where the racial split is 85% or higher white. They give lip service but I have caught them being more racist than my parents generation. If you grow up in an area where its predominantly one race, the small minority conforms, there isn't a cultural mixing. [/QUOTE]
