I know my statements were general, not racist, and I don't believe everyone in the mid-west is racist. I jsut don't see how he can consider a study in Wisconsin the norm for American's. Racism has no boundaries and is just as bad amoung the minority comunities as it is amoung the white community, we just happen to the majority.
Black vs. White racial issues are far more prevelant in rural areas than urban areas and the mid-west has much more farm land than the rest of the US. I'm not dumb enough to catagorize an entire region of the US. I grew up going to school where I was more likely the only white person in my class. I had issues far more often by black people than white. Does that mean I generalize? No! I've learned that I deal with each person on an individual level. My opinion of them is based on how they treat me.
BTW, LOL box host is no reason to hold me on a pedistal. I'm not petty enough to ban someone over a constructive arguement.
