And I didnt say “all” in my original post. You said any time “all” is mentioned it’s stupid, then back tracked in defense of MAGAts. Political party is irrelevant
I knew some people in the South who never accepted the civil war loss and refused to work with or associate with Northerners. This was in the 90s. One got mad because I said to move on and act like an American and we almost wound up throwing hands over it.
You say that, but it sounds like you have never actually been to the southern US. I lived in Arkansas for 9 years and this kind of broad statement does more harm than good.
Parents from Arkansas. Born in Alabama. Raised in NC. Spent most of my life throughout the Southern US. I have a pretty real good idea. They’ll talk real nice and polite but invariably it will show at some point…every single time.
Also, if you’ve lived in Arkansas you are surrounded by people whose religion claims that black people are the Mark of Cain and are controlled by Satan.
Dont let their outward demeanor fool you.
I’m white and from the south and this is definitely not true for me. Now there are some people down here that definitely fall into that category but it is far from universally true. I’d even go so far as to say they are a small, but yes very vocal, minority.
White people absolutely despise blacks in the South.
That’s such a racist liberal northerner thing to say lmao
No it isnt. It’s from someone born there and who spent most of their life there.
Imma let you in on a little secret. If your sentence starts with “all [category of people]” it is an incorrect and stupid sentence.
I think that ignoring statistical majorities because there are a handful of exceptions is pretty stupid unto itself.
You realize this sentiment makes it really hard to talk about demographics, right? It’s a very anti-systemic view of the world.
Do you also say “not all MAGAts!” ?
That’s not a category of person, it’s a political party.
Irrelevant
Not relevant to what? You’re not making any sense.

Please quote me where I defended trump supporters.
AND WE’RE OFF TO THE PEDANTIC OLYMPICS!!
As a white person in the north, I absolutely despise whites in the south.

Be real careful because even the ones you think arent racist and are super polite and nice will let it slip eventually.
Glad to be out of there
A “small but vocal minority” doesn’t keep institutional racist policies if “we the people” aren’t also voting for them.
You are doing yourself a disservice by assuming the ones being vocal about their beliefs are the only ones holding those beliefs.
