A loaded question designed to provoke a conditioned response from people who only know what they've been told by others or from what they've heard on the news, never having been to anyplace that they speak of themselves to see if what they've heard is true or not.
Sad, very sad, some of these responses. The Yankee media has trained you well.
Allow me to enlighten you with some factual details.
First, I've lived in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Missouri, New Jersey, and now live in South Carolina. I've worked extensively in New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, so what I'm about to say comes from personal experience.
There are, in my humble opinion, just as many "racists states" in the rest of the country as there are in the South. The Yankee media has taught all of you to automatically think of only the South when asked a question like this.
The Klan is alive and well in all of the 48 continental United States. When I lived in New Jersey as recently as last August, there was a very active Klan group in the county where I lived. Two counties away, there was a big field on a farmer's land that you stayed away from at night, because that's where the Klan for that area held their rallies.
The Klan is also active in New York and Connecticut; I ran across Klan members in both states while working as a private investigator right after I retired from the service.
I walked into a McDonalds in a predominantly black neighborhood in Queens, NY one day, and was the only white face in the place. There were two men talking to the woman behind the counter, laughing and chatting. When I walked up to place my order, all talking stopped. They all three got a look of disgust on their faces, and in a deadpan, sarcastic tone the woman behind the counter asked me, "So what do you want?" My reply was, "Nothing from you, sweetheart," and then I walked out.
Yep, racism is alive and well, and it ain't just in the South.
As for the "separate proms," I have a very hard time believing that ANY high school anywhere could get away with this. This flies right in the face of the Equal Rights Act of 1968, and I just can't believe that this is true. If it is, did you ever stop to consider that maybe - just maybe - the STUDENTS set it up like that? A staggering concept, huh?
The one place I lived where race certainly wasn't an issue was the midwest - Missouri, to be specific. People out there gave me the impression that they couldn't care less what color your skin was - people were people. Of course, the local Klan chapter had different opinions.
And just where, by the way, are most of the white supremacist groups located? In the South? Nope, wrong answer. They're mostly located in the midwest and the west, places like Kansas (home of the Westboro Baptist Church - you know, the one whose preacher, Fred Phelps, says that "God hates fags" and demonstrates at military funerals?) and Oklahoma, the Dakotas and Nevada.
Nope, the South doesn't have the market cornered on racism. It's everywhere, and to see it all you have to do is take the blinders off and look around. While you're at it, take a drive up North and go visit New Jersey and New York; take a close look at how the people up there treat each other.
THEN come back and tell me that the "most racist state" is in the South.

It is not the states that are racist but the people in them. Making broad brush sweeping statements about racist states is nonsensical. There are racists and bigots all over the world. There are also good people who are tolerant of other people. You should confront racism wherever you find it!

Far more than the State of Texas is the state of immature minds.

i don't think there is any states that is more racist than the other, its more of the people thats in that states and they are all over the country but since its against the law of the land they are more subtle and not as obvious.

New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Now if you are talking about liberal racism, such as 'blacks can do no wrong because everything they do is a result of white people" -then California.

I think MS or AL are the most "segretated" states left. Although, in GA they hold prom on different days for white folks & black folks. White folks get a "country" themed prom and black folks get a "hip-hop" themed prom. Thats gotta say something...

I'd say Georgia just because they have the Skinheads and KKK down there still active.
