Really getting tired of people playing the "it's the south" card. You can't go to google and find a slew of bullshit like this happening elsewhere in the country. Fucking hell... NYPD anyone?
This shit is not going to end as long as people living in large cities continue with this bullshit fantasy that all the racists are in the "deep south." Lived in TN and FL, didn't get any slurs thrown my way until I lived in DC.
Yep.
I am lucky enough to have gotten 25 years in without knowingly being discriminated against (I live in Philly and have traveled up and down the East Coast) but I'm not about to sit back and act like shit isn't fucked up in tons of spots all over. Just because it hasn't happened to you or those around you doesn't mean it doesn't happen or is being exaggerated.
