[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what, OP. People concentrate on the South, but racism is and was everywhere in the US. Check out the book Sundown Towns -- which is the history of towns in the United States in which African Americans were lynched or refused admission after sundown. NINETY PERCENT of them were in the north. Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. Yup. People like to believe that racism was a southern phenomenon, but most[b] Southern towns were integrated.[/b][/quote] I agree that racism was and is everywhere, although I think the chances for enormous mobs converging to beat just a few dozen individuals while law enforcement looked away are greatly reduced from what they were. However, Southern towns were "integrated"? I politely disagree. Moreover, southern Illinois and Indiana are more culturally similar to the South.[/quote]
