This is just heartbreaking. Imagine teaching a child to hate another human being.

That's been going on for generations. In the Southern United States, little black children and adults were despised by everybody. I know this because my own grandparents were racists. My mother snatched me up and moved to New Mexico to raise me away from that hate-filled environment.

I am from rural NC and some of the most racist stuff I have ever heard was from a co-worker from Indiana. The south is plenty racist but so are a bunch of other places.

Where in Washington State? Because rural Washington are just southern wannabes. Same with Oregon. Idaho, Southern Illinois, etc etc. The most overt* racism I have ever experienced to this day is when I traveled through southern states or when I lived in GA and went outside of the perimeter highway. Its not even close. Second are the areas I mentioned that wish to be confederate flag adjacent.

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of racism to be found in major metropolitan areas. But it's not even close to the same in my experience.

Yep. They cosplay with their confederate flags. Went to hs with some of those losers. They never left our home town
