Yeah I was going to say, there is as much poverty in the white communities as the black communities. It's terrible. I lived in a town once called Scottsboro, Alabama. You might have heard of it. Scottsboro boys? Well I worked as a 911 dispatcher there, and the cops used to joke over the radio, "Let's see who can pull over a "N" first (and of course they used the word). Within minutes, we'd get a call to run a driver's license number, and it would be for a person of color. That cop "won." :roll: This was 20 years ago, not in the 50s.
I hear of this all the time, because I still have family in the very rural areas, where whites won't be seen by doctors if they are PoC, they won't live in neighborhoods if there are PoC there. I live in a neighborhood in Georgia where some of the families here got angry because PoC were moving in, and they threatened to sell their houses and leave.
Racism is here and isn't going anywhere. I live here, and see it every single day. Anybody who says there isn't racism in the South is pulling your dick.
That being said, there is racism everywhere, and the more rural your community, the more racist it becomes.
