What state in the United States is the most racist ??

Question

and why ?

Answer 1

Mississippi is known for being racist.

Answer 2

Can you post a more idiotic question? Nevermind, looking over these posts it's clear that the answers are even more ridiculous...

Nearly all the posts following this are so hilariously ironic because the posters attempting to answer this question are actually engaging in prejudice themselves. For instance, some of the black posters here have automatically picked southern states because they are "known" for being the most racist. Known how, pray tell? If you haven't lived in these states AND spent significant amounts of time in many of the accused state's areas, you have absolutely no right to make such a claim. You are committing the very same error that you accuse the states of -- stereotyping people according to your own rash judgments and what you heard from the media.

How can you measure racism? It cannot be quantified, nor does the amount of southern/white people in that state equal the greatest hate. In my own experience (and I come from a northern state), some of the most offensive racists I have known were the antithesis of the "white hillbilly redneck" so often used and abused by the media.

Don't believe it because your television says it's so.

Answer 3

nicely to start of there is racism around the globe, no longer basically the USA. Racism has been a topic as long as there have been people of diverse races. I fairly doubt that the respond you're searching for will come on yahoo solutions. All i'm able to assert nevertheless is which you're able to make your person selection on being racist. people will constantly make undesirable judgements wither its as a usa or as someone. there'll constantly be some racism against some race. The minority(which ability the race everyone seems to be racist against) changes with the aid of time and with the aid of the country. the only element you're able to do is inspire people to no longer be racist. i admire your question yet there's no longer in all probability an eternal answer to racism, you could basically do what you notice superb to do. that's a private determination. don't wander off interior the gang. sort your person opinion (no longer your mum and dad or acquaintances) of what is going on interior the worldwide. in case you pass back in historic previous and look on the Holocaust(that wasn't interior the USA) you will see that it did no longer ensue via fact of one individual. we are in a position in charge usa's or worldwide leaders for racism despite the fact that it relatively does start up at living house.

Answer 4

I've not been to a lot of our states, but I am able to speak to people across the nation in my line of work. The issue of being a racist never comes up in our conversations, so I would not know.
Do people actually go around discussing a topic such as this? Who would be able to know, unless it is someone who travels extensively?
I am from Alabama and I've never heard any of the people I work with discuss anything like this. I work for Alabama's largest employer. We have people who are Native American, European, Asian, Middle Eastners, Phillipinos, Canadians, Mexicans, and a lot more races. We are very multi-cultural and I have never heard anyone make a racists remark. NOW we are talking about 2007, right????--I thought that was what the question meant--not 40 years ago.

Answer 5

I came to California from New Orleans after the storm. I have lived in Texas, Missouri, New Jersey, and Hawaii. I have never lived in a place were even Black people don't "acknowledge" each other; and I live here in Escondido, Ca. People are so isolated that to see a Black person in the neighborhood,is a weeks worth of gossip. G-D forbid if that Black person has Dredlocks-that is another week of conversation. I think that all of the states in the U.S are racist. In the South, people are a bit more vocal. In the North, East, and West people tend to be a bit less vocal but are more racist,separated,and isolated than folks in the South.

Answer 6

Texas ranks up there in the top 50. But the really racist states (and I have been in all of the lower 48) are in the midwest.

The people there are white, anglo-saxon, and protestant. They hate anyone who is not white, not anglo-saxon, and not a protestant. And if you are all of the above, they will still hate you because you are a stranger.

Texans just hate Yankees, regardless of their race and they don't give a rat's hiney how they do things up North.

Answer 7

I'd have to say Alabama because of all the KKK and Skinheads down there. Also because of all the racial riots and the fact that most people in that state are descendants of Confederates from the War Between the States.

Answer 8

North Carolina, any state that keeps that bigot Jesse Helms in office for all those years definately has a problem with racism.

To Globalle below me, I live in NC.

Answer 9

Louisiana! The black people there are call Mexicans racial slurs. I've only experimented that over there, not once, about 6 times. Every Mexican person I know who went there was called a racial slur by a black person. I've never heard of anyone having a problem with White people.

Answer 10

Southern States. They still live in the 50'-60'.
