No, but they originated from the South.
I grew up in a lovely midwestern town, then nafta ended and the vile filth infested us and brought their crime and drugs with them, my town became a nightmare in 2 years.
The rest of the country didn't want slavery, they didn't want Jim Crow, they didn't try to elect segregationists.
Our evil was very, VERY centralized, and it was our mistake for not dealing with them properly after the civil war and preventing their pestilence from spreading.
Just the South, and they have been the enemy of humanity for centuries, because they care far less about America than they do about their own racism, so much so that they went to war with America in the name of racism.
doom music slowly increases in volume...
Was it worth it?
Southerners: "Yes, but we get to abuse brown people again!"
MAGA: "Haha, he really triggered the libtards!!!"
They're cheap.
Basically background noise.
And the distribution company died in the middle too.
They were basically backed by Criss-Craft boats who had massive financial scaldals and collapsed taking PTEN down with them.
Agreed, miracle that made any kind of ending.
This was the whole problem, they've been here all along.
We thought we beat them in the civil war, they just hunkered down and changed the name of slavery to Jim crow.
Now they think this is their moment.
Please, the south stood firm for discrimination, they stood so firm the south switched parties en masse in reaction to civil rights.
Just like 100 years earlier the south had to be drug to decency at gunpoint.
I am brown, and partly grew up in the south, and Midwest, and the coasts.
PLEASE!!!!! Lecture me on how racism is equal everywhere and not just massively and brutally expressed in the south.
I am DYING to hear how my experiences were all a lie.
Many of us have reason to hate the south, just like I'm sure a lot of Jews had bad feelings about the nazis.
And the nazis actually copied many of their policies from the south verbatim, particularly the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow.
If the south had a single grain of decency and shame within them, they'd spontaneously combust, lucky for them they don't.
