Many from the North believe that the South is filled with a bunch of country speaking racist red necks.

Many from the south say this is an unfair stereotype of the South, and claim that there is actually more racism up North. Some blacks and white have been shown to share this opinion.

--Things to keep in mind: The south is home of the bible belt, and people usually equate being a good Christian with loving all people, thus, they can't be racist. (in there own heads)

--The Majority of Black Americans live in the South.

    I'll just say this. Racism is everywhere in America. Many people say New England area is the most racist place they've been too. Google Sundown Towns and peep the cities on that list; many are not in the South. Also, many whites in the South are used to livin round blacks so it wasn't really a big deal to them.
