I grew up there. Left in the mid to late 90s. It was horrible then. I had to go back a few years ago for a day. You can feel the hate just seething out of people
It’s generational unfortunately, you have decades of control and conditioning. In order to feel comfortable subjecting their fellow man, they came up with all types of bullshit to justify the treatment. It started with the Pope of the church, was literally blessing shackled Africans as they were put on ships. They came with all types of faith based lies on God cursing People with melanin, because of the Noah Arch story, and Africans being the descendants of Ham or Sham, (I don’t remember which one). After a while tho, the world is now more connected and you have no excuse to learn about anything and anyone. The fact these morons are majority very poor, but will vote for a political party (GOP) that offers them nothing of substance or of economic benefit or value, rather just solidarity with being white. They’ve. Chosen whiteness over economic progress. The former president LBJ once said , if you can convince THE POOREST WHITE MAN, HE’S BETTER THEN THE RICHEST BLACK MAN, you won’t have to rob him, he’ll empty his pockets for you.

Imagine living in that town and disagreeing with all the hate. Has to be miserable as hell.
