It is but there are definitely different levels of racism. As I said, I've moved around quite a bit. To me, places like Concordia, Mo where anyone PCSing into Whiteman AFB is flat out told don't go there if you are black...that has had every non-white family run out of town in the last 25 years...where they have to bring in State Troopers to have a damn sports matchup with schools that happen to have non-white kids...that's way worse than being ignored on the street, or someone being a little rude or even being profiled because of color or any of the other more subtle forms of racism . I'm not saying those are acceptable in any way shape or form...but I've been so many places that are worse than that...in the north...and in the south...where if your skin isn't the right color, you need to avoid it or risk death.
As I said, most of the racism I've seen more north is of the more up front/abrasive kinda...most of what I saw in the south was the subtler kind. I'm aware that it's all relative. but at the same time, that big of a difference kinda of sticks with you.Xavsnipe liked this post

Re: An interesting case on Race and voting.
Most people (>99%) under the age of 30 could give two shits about race. I think with regard to this issue they can't wait until the older generations die off and everyone shuts the fuck up about it.
About the only place I have seen race matter anymore is the prison system (lockdown is an interesting show)... And of course the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world. And again who gives a fuck about any of their opinions anyway?
