I am sick to death of people posting these smug "look how things haven't changed" maps on LJ. Even "back then"--the North had just as much backward rascism going on, but wow, it wasn't labeled "slavery." That in and of itself is a simplistic statement but I won't even get into it here, and I am hardly a historian.
But, I won't stop here. There is rascism, yes, even in *GASP* Europe!!! And not ONLY against one kind of people!!
People suck. No one is better than anyone else. They all fight to be, but they aren't.
