(16,911 posts)Of course there are racist, fascist Dipshits everywhere, but...AND IT'S A BIG BUT...they are not elected to super majorities in blue states.
There are exceptions, where northern state have been gerrymandered to shit like WI and OH following the 2010 frickin disaster, but it is the South where these racist asshats are in power as representatives of the majority
So, yes, there are racists in the Northern states, but the blue states tend to keep their racist fucksticks locked up in the attic.
My drunk uncle in Ohio was racist as Fuck, but he didn't have the power to expel black elected leaders like they just did in TN, or suspend black elected prosecutors like they just did in Florida, and will do in GA now that they've given themselves the power to do so.
Also, although I shouldn't have to point it out, the North didn't fight a war to maintain slavery
Oh, and BTW, point me to a Northern State that had "whites only" lunch counters as late as 1960?
Seems there is a big difference between run of the mill racists, and racists elected by a majority of their peers, with all the power that entails.
