This.
I grew up in the south and my parents both remember desegregation.
I even remember some things growing up and remember how blacks were treated differently.
I also had some racist members in my extended family.
There is also racism pretty rampant in some areas in the south and even some southern states even have the stars and bars on their license plates and flags.
