I work with somebody who just moved here (Minnesota) from Alabama. He is white. He keeps commenting that southern blacks "know their place". What he means is, they are more respectful of whites than are northern blacks. He says that the urban black up here is a violent criminal, as compared to the south. I must admit, I avoid the inner city to the best of my ability.
I don't know what to say to him, because even though I'm black, I was raised in a law-abiding middle class family, and have had very limited contact with the urban black.
So, does anybody know, is there a significant behavioral difference between southern and northern black people?
