re: Most racist SEC state?

Someone on here once posted that white northerners like black people as a group, but not individually, and white southerners like black people individually, but not as a group.

It's a quote by William Faulkner


'In the North they love the race and hate the individual... In the South we hate the race and love the individual.'

(That isn't verbatim but it's close)


Faulkner has lots of interesting quotes on race:

'To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.'




'We were children, it is true, yet we were descendants of people who read books and who were, or should have been, beyond superstition and impervious to mindless fear.'
