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.

You just happened to hear that, so now you have an excuse to make a bullshit proclamation, eh?

Jim Crow are laws enforcing racism. They haven't existed for a long time.

But you really didn't know that?🙄

@SW-User That is an inaccurate statement. Jim Crow laws exist today that encourage cops to hassle Black drivers for minor things, such as having something hanging on the rear view mirror. And don't forget the stop & frisk that was very popular in New York City and no-knock warrants.

@Diotrephes Your mom dropped you on your head a few thousand times, eh?

@SW-User Hey, chill out tf out. I said that is what I heard, okay? That's why I asked to confirm if it's true or not.

@latinbutterfly You heard there still was white and colored water fountains, blacks not allowed in hotels and restuarants, and that they are required by law to in the back of buses?

And I heard the moon was made of green cheese

@SW-User Read what I said again, because I did not say anything like that 😂.

@latinbutterfly Jim Crow is a system of laws to enforce discrimination.

To answer your Q: no they don't exist there, or anywhere in America 😋

@SW-User I assumed that you were an American.
