Is racism in the southern U.S. different than other parts of the country?
I've heard that parts of the southern U.S. have Jim Crow era racism, but I have never been there so I wouldn't know first hand.

every times the black went to war as in ww2 and vietnam war . they came back with the idea if they died for the usa they wanted equal rights.
now for woman it was ww2 and they started to work for the war effort . and they wanted equal rights also.
At first, women weren’t always welcomed into the workplace. They received less pay and some men looked down on them and felt they weren’t up to handling a “man’s job.” They often faced sexual harassment, long hours and dangerous working conditions. and there pay is still not equal today

@markansas My grandfather served in WWI, in a segregated troop, rode home on a segregated train and went through some southern towns where there had been problems with townspeople lynching black servicemen—still in their uniforms. My father, coming home from Korea, talks about having to get on the back of the bus after fighting for someone else’s rights.
@bijouxbroussard Tulsa race massacre
May 31, 1921 – Jun 1, 1921 just after ww1
The Tulsa race massacre took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents, some of whom had been deputized and given weapons by city officials, attacked Black residents and destroyed homes and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, US. Wikipedia
and this is what trump supporters want to bring back . is sad

@bijouxbroussard i believe you're from the south, no?
Im from michigan, grew up in an all white community. There was overt and cruelty aimed towards black people.
Just meanness, really.
When i moved to north carolina, there was still obvious racism. But it seemed different. No less ugly, but less verbal(im searching for the right adjective, verbal isnt quite it).
Am i correct in this bijoux? Or it just my perception?

@Carla That’s pretty accurate. My parents were originally from the south, eventually moved to California, where they had us, but we visited our southern relatives every year of my life until I left home. I also attended four years of college in the south. I experienced less overt racism during that time only because it was still so segregated. And growing up I experienced racism in California. I integrated my school and classmates delighted in advising me that they "weren’t allowed to talk to Negroes". Of course, that puzzled me and I’d reply, "Gee, guess you’re already in trouble, then ?" 😅

@Carla Yes, and also far Northern California areas. It was amazing to me when Trump decided that California could go to hell because we weren’t doing the things he thought we should do to prevent wildfires (like raking our backyards) and the firefighters weren’t listening to him regarding "water pressure".
Our governor had to battle him to get the aid needed for extra help fighting those devastating fires. I’m guessing Trump didn’t realize that many of the areas affected were where the few California Trump supporters resided. But for the losses of property and life by those who had counted on him, it might almost have been funny. 😞

@markansas Racism in America always increases after wars. Black men and women go off to fight and die for the country and when they return, they want to be rewarded by getting their share of the American dream. Segments of Whites resist that and domestic conflict ensues.
