I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Are you saying everyone out west is racist, or that all races have racist people. I lived in the South my first 31 years, and have been in Colorado for almost a year. And I've heard fewer racial conversations here then anywhere else. The only person who ice hdd say the N weird, was from Mississippi, and he probably only brought up black people, because I told him I moved from Nola.
So what point are you trying to make about the "libertards?" Because besides Cali, the Pacific Northwest, and Colorado; the west is very conservative.

so where all the people live in the west is not conservative, but where there aren't a lot of people it's not?

Everyone has a different perspective I'm just saying the south is more integrated than other parts of the country

Agree. I've been from Maine to Cali and Alaska.
My experiences, have been similar to yours in terms of racial animosity and overt racism compared to the South.
That's not to say things are perfect here. But folks of different races get along and work together much easier that what I've seen elsewhere.

Well, you also said the south was the least racist. More integration does not necessarily mean less racism. In fact, I'd argue the more integrated an area is, the more racist it is. The whole familiarity breeds contempt thing.

Well that would be because you're a white guilt bitch who's also a self loathing southerner.
I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Because Ensley is much more accepting than Hoover..

There's a reason pro athletes used to say when the got dealt to a Boston franchise that they "got traded down South to Boston". It was no secret to them Boston was the most racist city in America.

Most of the populated areas, yes. But there is Salt Lake City, plus Arizona and Cali have large, conservative cities.
But it kinda colored the general national trends. Large cities tend to be more liberal. Definitely not always, but outside of the South more often than not, it tends to lean that way. Way more than rural communities.

I just never understood southerners need to call out other states on it. It almost seems like there is a serious inferiority complex going on. We like to claim we have the best food, weather, girls, schools, cities, but it's like we're trying to compare ourselves to the North. Like "ha! beat that you damn Yankees" I'm pretty sure 95% of the north don't give a frick about us, and probably couldn't name 5 southern states. Why are people down here so obsessed with the north?
I've lived about half my life in Ohio and the other half in the South. This is spot on.

Well that's your own personal argument. All I know is in L.A ppl are sectioned off pretty heavily so much so that they can't cross over a certain street for fear of retaliation.

As a younger man fresh to the military meeting people from all over the U.S. I was surprised to learn this. And the mid western and northern folks are the worst behind your back racists in today's America.
