How much is racism visible in the south?

Racism is everywhere.  In the south, it's turned more from people of color, to immigrants.

Actually, I think Deep South is making a comment about Political Correctness and the so-called discrimination against the Anglo-Saxon majority.\n\nPay-back can be rough.

ignorance and racism.

There are some blacks who see the flag as what it is.. the former battle flag of the Confederate Army that represented States' Rights and opposition to the Federal government. It was not a symbol of racism until the Klan hijacked it. \n\nAlso, there are many blacks who are descendents of the handful of black soldiers that fought on the side of the confederacy.  There is also a huge biking movement in the black community and the flag is used by a lot of bikers.\n\nI do know that there are even black Sons of the Confederacy in Nashville.

I really wouldnt worry about it too much.  No doubt about it parts of America are full of racism.  Romania doesnt happen to be a country we are against right now so I would not fret. \n\nThe Grand Canyon area is beautiful and the people there are sweet & kind.  For the most part racism is a choice few people that believe for instance all Muslims are terrorists.  ( To all Muslims out there, this is not my belief)

No, racism is a horrible thing. However, I do think in general, we live in a society where people judge others far more on surface appearances. It really is sad.

Racism comes in stages and degrees.\nMost of it is due to lack of confidence in ones self and inferiority complexes.\nHowever, it could also be because of trying to brainswahs a section of the people by regular campaigning against a particular group or groups.\nNone of these eventuallysucceed.\nSouth Africa , Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) are good examples.\nThe best example is the United states.\nAll racial barriers have been legally broken but the trend is still there.

I move to the south a year ago, after living in NYC all my life. I have expirienced racism in both places I don't want to get specific about the incidents. But I feel that in NYC it's more in your face as oppose to the south, where it's round and about. In NYC you know where you stand with someone, in the south it's just fake, all fake. You can treat someone O.K. and find out later of things they would say about you. I guess you can get that sort of behavior from anyone anywhere I just experienced it more coming to the south.\n\n(Someone not SMILING at you may be them treating you with disgust, but it's not racism. Someone accusing you of theft after you have purchased the item in their store and contacting the police and falsly having you thrown in jail is racism. DON"T GET IT TWISTED......)

As long as there are people in this world, like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, this country will have racial problems.\n\nNoone is asking people to forget the past of their ancestors.  I do not forget the horrible problems my Irish ancestors went through, but thankfully their are not any (that I know of) people demanding I get something for their suffering.  \n\nAsk Jesse Jackson, next time he speaks, to try to speak about another human being without using the color of their skin.  People with influence like him is why there is so much racial tension.\n\n\n---\n\nredvegetable, (above), are you saying that Blacks have different 'needs' than Whites?\n\n---\nditty, (below) are you saying there are no black against white crimes?  How many of those have there been?\n\n---\nHabilis (below) most of your response was a good answr to the question.  I have to disagree with the Georgia flag thing.  That is insinuating that the flag represents racisim.  The confederate flag represents history.  The civil war was not about slavery as some like to say.  Slavery became an issue in the war when lincoln saw the opportunity to bring blacks from the south on to fight for the north.

Racism is alive and well in the Tennesse GOP.\n\nDid you see those ads they ran against Ford? They played the race card.

Don't think it's gonna happen, at least not in the US in the near future. Most people at heart are still  racists, tough they may deny it. Unfortunate, but many of em wouldn't want the off-spring of slaves to rule over their good ole white country.\n\nst

I don't think we do believe that...racist are everywhere...whites people hate others, black people hate others...people hate people...just look around.

Three part answer:\n1) There are a lot of ignorant people still roaming about keeping the hatred alive\n2) There are a relative few who make a lot of money and power keeping racism alive. (Jesse Jackson, etc)\n3) There is another relative few who fear what would happen if we could all agree with each other and topple them from their power--so it is in their best interest for racism to exist.

The best example of racism I have seen yet - the answers to this question.

While it is true that white people are pretty much everywhere, there are many places where you can live where at least the white people are a minority. There are many counties in most states in the U.S. South, for example, where white people make up less than 20% of the population...for example, Hampton Co. in SC has very few white people. \n\nBetter though, would be examining your fear of white people, what it is about them that troubles you, and learning methods to cope with your fear. \n\nGenerally speaking, white people behave no worse than any other ethnic group that has the majority population of a region. Whoever the big group is tends to bully the others in the smaller groups. While I do oftentimes think that white people may be somewhat crazier than most other peoples, the real problem is not the skin colour, the real problem is human nature. Even the best people you know will do the most horrible things if put in a situation that stresses them beyond their limits.  That's why nations are easily manipulated by their leaders through use of propaganda to stimulate anger and/or fear.\n\nOn the other hand, if your fear is generated by actual experience, then it all boils down to this: no one in the United States should have to put up with abuse, discrimination, or hate. If you are afraid because someone is actively bothering you, then you should report it to the authorities.
