re: #276 Obdicut

Well, the North and South thing isn’t a dualism— especially not a Manichean one. That’s what I meant by ‘crude’— as in, even though it’s a mass over-generalization, one can very crudely say that racism in the South was more (but just more) violent than in the north, with the number of lynchings and other murders much higher, and in the North was less violent, and more ostracism, ghettoization, et al.

Manichaeian error.
