I’m on a phone and don’t know how to link. There’s an article in the Huffington Post that shows the worst places to be black, and they’re not in Dixie. Let’s remember this study the next time a Yankee wants to lecture a Southerner about race.
Non-Americans have been telling you that your entire country has a race issue and all the “They’re more racist than us!” arguments are just part of the bigger problem.
So no link? I thought it was upon the person citing a study to provide the link to said study. Not that one study means anything. But just curious what it says. The amount of KKK groups throughout the south says more about racism than any study possible could.
Can you not read? I’m on a phone. I don’t know how to link on a phone. It’s good reading. You can Google. It will shut up anyone criticizing the South about race relations.
You don't know how to copy and paste? Looks like the Mid-West is the "worst place to live" for blacks. "Yankees" is not a term for people in the mid-west. That is a New England/Northeastern term. So, next time you want to lecture a Yankee about racism maybe you should get your terms correct. That being said...context is everything... Wilson associated the geographical clustering of these cities to the Great Migration — the relocation of millions of African Americans from the South to cities in the North and Midwest between 1916 and 1970. Over that period, African Americans fled from the oppressive Jim Crow policies of the South, among other forms of racism, to cities such as Chicago and New York. These areas — the Midwest in particular — were undergoing a manufacturing boom at the time, and black and other Americans sought economic opportunities there. However, the industrial Midwestern economies have declined dramatically since 1970, and the region today is a part of what is commonly known as the Rust Belt. The manufacturing industries in those areas offered relatively well-paying jobs to relatively uneducated people — many of whom were African American. As Wilson explained, “those industries have essentially dried up, and the opportunities are no longer there, but the people still are.” There was nothing in the article about any type of systematic racism. The jobs these people moved for have all pretty much dried up. On average people who work in manufacturing jobs are less educated and therefore don't tend to have lots of other job opportunities. Not sure how that is racism.
I actually have no doubt this is true. The north has become far more segregated than the south has over time. This breaks down along neighborhood / school lines. The North was willing to free the salves, but that was the extent of it. They also did not like African Americans anymore than their southern counterparts.
^^^ liberals citing Wilson, who is arguably the greatest racist the democrats ever produced. If not for him, segregation wouldn't have ever happened. A true believe in Eugenics was Wilson....
If he'd spent much time in Canada he'd know that things are the same up there. Humans are tribal and they seek out members of their own tribe and shun the members of the other tribes........and his happens world-wide, of course.
There are several HufPo articles similar to what you stated. The problem with Googling it is that the most popular are the ones most clicked on and therefore at the top of the search list. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/worst-states-for-black-americans_us_57a50f9de4b0ccb0237249dd That one above is the latest I found on the short-list.

To a Southerner, anyone from a state that fought the Confederacy is a "Yankee". That's basically Maine to Minnesota. I wasn't accusing anyone of racism. But it's clear that if you're black, the odds are better for you in the South if you want a happy, productive life.
Well sure, if you always believe individual studies. And southerners would be wrong in referring to anyone outside of New England as a yankee.
