Better get ready for an eye-opener.
In those "pockets" in Alabama and Georgia we're running out of patience and resources. Okay, white folks bought them (indirectly from their own kin = still no excuse), enslaved them, and built an empire on their labor. Many of us grew up with blacks; hell, I even had a black "mammie," and I loved her to death. Our government (U.S.) freed them, left them without support, and then riled them up with "educated" hate-bearing messengers.
There are racists and there are bigots. I don't think I'm any better than my friend because of my skin color (not a bigot), but you're an idiot if you don't accept the fact that blacks and whites are often different (racist). I'll admit that I prejudge on the basis of skin color. Hell, teenage pregnancy rates, homicide, criminal offences...black > white.
I'm realistic, though, and our local governments can't support them anymore. National policy has killed agriculture (our sustenance), and there are jobs in your city. We're starting to share the joy, so get ready to assume the burden and be "one nation."
