Norther states are far richer, and have far better education systems, leading to the idea that southerners are poor ignorant hicks. Not true, and not fair. At the same time, the South tends to vote red out of loyalty to the party or true belief, which has disastrous effects for the environment and minorities. This in turn feeds back into the idea they they’re all ignorant, and stokes the north/south rivalry. As for the racism, there’s a large population of black and brown people in the souther

Southern states, and as much as we like to pretend democrats can’t be racist, they very much can be. They receive less funding, education, and support. Grouping all southern states together as lesser because of classism, racism, and a very understandable grudge due to voting hurts minorities of all kinds in the south as well as north. In other words, prejudice against the South is true ignorance. Hate those who deserve it, but don’t deceive yourself with some vague idea that where someone is

Saying this all as a northerner, so I’m sure op would have a much more informed and nuanced take.

i knew all this which is why i said what i said. historically our politicians intentionally kept us poor and uneducated so they could prevent us (mainly laborers) from asking abt higher wages and better regulations. the gov will do anything to keep us divided and to keep stuffing money in their pockets.

hating the gov and the ppl who did vote for it is valid, not grouping everyone in the south and then hating them for something that SOME of them did 😭

Bro you realize you’re hating the people who NEED ABORTION too? You’re hating the victim as much as the ones at fault. Can we not just judge people by their own merit rather than where they live?

If you’re actually from the south you should realize how many of us defacto can’t vote because of voter suppression and gerrymandering. You can’t hate a whole population because of legislation passed undemocratically.

The south has higher rates of poverty and has a higher percentage of the population that are POC, and when northerners are assholes about the south and say terrible things about southerners, those statiatics are not unrelated. "everyone in the south is illiterate and stupid - oh but not you!" " the south is racist, unlike new england" "you must hate living in the south, everyone there is a backwards hick" (things that have been said to me by northerners during my time in new england as a southerner) and myfavorite, "im so sorry you live there" (like that isnt my home, where my friemds and family are, and like I am not proud of my personal history - which the south is a part of)
