i do think you're right about hate in the midwest. seems like there's a lot of white bread out there with not much else to do than meddle and stir the pot.
One thing about hate here in the midwest that is worse than in the south is that I think those that practice hate up here in the midwest are much more 2 faced about it. A black friend of mine told me awhile back that he'd much rather be back in South Carolina where hes from. When I asked him why, he said at least you know who hates you down there. I thought that comment was very interesting.
