re: #348 Salamantis

The racisms in the North and the South are different. In the South, racist whites don’t care how close blacks get, as long as they don’t advance too far; in the North, racist whites don’t care how far blacks avance, so long as they don’t get too close.

This difference explains the paradox of blacks being elected to more and higher offices in white majority districts in the North, at the same time that their cities’ residential disticts are more starkly segregated than are Southern ones.

Wow, you make it sound like America is filled to the brim with racists.
