Now I do not mean all people but I do mean a lot of people. I formed this point of view from my trips and stays in the south as a white truck driver. In the north the fact that the south was once a rebel union really never comes to mind. This seems to be ever-present in the minds of many southerners though. There seems to be a disliking of “Yankees” and their ways that is rampant in the south. As though they stopped being allowed to hate black people publicly so their natural racist attitudes turned towards hating the north.
I never feel very safe in the south. This inherent racism, widespread acceptance of Christianity along with its perceived laws, and often remote locations (thereby producing uncultured, small-minded citizens) make me very nervous.
Now, I don’t know what percentage of southerners my views apply to. Maybe only 1% of southerners fit this stereotype but from my very own personal experience that would be a very, very vocal 1%.
