And the South. There's so much racism in the South, they even still have the Confederacy flag flying above the Louisiana State Courthouse

And racists are gonna be racists. My point is how much society gives you a chance. Even if someone has a business, and they are racist, they have to follow the law. So those racists had to hire some black people or they were fined!

Like I said, I am not saying there arent racists, just that people fought for their rights, and got at least a fighting chance.
