One time in the parking lot of Wal-Mart in Manhattan, Kansas I saw an old white guy yell at a white teenager who was bumping rap music in his car to "turn off that n****r music"


It's bad that seeing something like this would be considered a normal day for me. I can't even begin to think of the most racist things I've seen in my life.

I know restaurants here that still instruct waitresses to seat whites and blacks in separate rooms.

Every delta town has what we refer to as the "white (insert chain store or gas station name) or black (inserts store name). For example a friend calls "meet me at the double quick" and you usually respond the "white or black one". In my hometown the white one had a baskin robbins and the black one had a Churchs chicken

I don't know how many farmers I've seen yell racial slurs at their labor. Actually seen them threaten black workers with guns or throw wrenches at them.

Houses in "white" neighborhoods aren't listed because they don't want a black family to buy them..have to use the "good ol boy" network to buy a nice house because it'll rarely be shown as "on the market".

Once a local farmer who was a big donor to the local private academy came into our farm office ranting about how the academy let in a black kid to play football. His exact quote "you can have a 55 gallon drum of vanilla ice cream and the first scoop of shite you put in it will ruin the whole thing".

That's just a few off the top of my head. I've seen some crazy shite living around here my entire life. And a lot of people here will get along fine with black people, there are just that group that are extremely hateful and the culture is different where the people who aren't racist generally accept the behavior of those who are rather than look down upon it.
