Mississippi
I'm black from Ohio I worked for a moving company I was driving through Mississippi with a co-worker who was white we were stopped by the police. The cop was passing us he happened to look over and see me driving he immediately hit the brakes and pulled us over. Straight Red Neck he asked if we had anything to pray for like we had drugs, after examining our paper work I left my I.D. at home I told us if the office can't get my my driver license # that he would take me to jail and let my white co-worker drive on. I got my drivers license number he turned a brighter red color and told us we don't have log books so he made us park the truck at the nearest hotel for 12 hours or he would arrest us. Sitting at the hotel we walked to get some beer just the people looking at a black and a white together was like we were about to be struck down by God or something crazy. Can't do Mississippi not for me I would be smacking people left and right go crazy and probably get killed in police station
There was an ice storm a couple of years past 2010 0r 2011 if I recall, a lady hit black ice and slide to the rail. I a Black male from California and she a White woman from Mississippi. This lady screamed "N***** get away pulled her hand gun pointing in my direction. I laughed as she sat there bleeding from the lip.
Mississippi Burning. Enough Said. This is a very rural, under educated wasteland. Lack to a stable intellectual class in any society is extremely dangerous when dealing with diversity and tolerance of any sort.

2Alabama
Blacks and Whites do not share the same communities in Alabama. It's absolutely amazing when you drive through some towns, you realize that there are no whites ANYWHERE. Zero. There is a huge separatist mentality here. It's amazing that so many young African American athlets are going there to represent a racist state.
"It happened in April 2012 on my way from Massachusetts to Texas, I rented a brand new 2012 Jeep Grand-Cherokee, somewhere in Alabama stopped for some gas, going in to the gas station counter with my 50 bucks in my hand cause(up to there I had drove and used my visa card at different states in less than 24 hours, so it was blocked). Entering the shop there were 4 white dude charting with the man at the counter " I said HI to them then handed my 50 bucks " may I have some gas please at pump number 1? " the guys stopped charting and the answer was "WE DON'T HAVE GAS TODAY". Right there I looked outside and saw two white guys with gas nozzles in filling the gas to their cars as usual. Immediately, some struck in my mind "RACISM" went out took off like 4 miles ahead found a SUNUCO gas station had my tank filled went on my trip. I'm from Africa, can't believe up to today of what happened. Why so hate-full, do black people eat humans or what?
Grew up there and was not allowed as a child to play with the black kids

3Texas
I actually moved from Chicago, and with my experience I believe that most white people here in Dallas area are from other states, second gen, third gen people, who come from ignorant families. It's funny its 21st century and we still have this. Oh yeah most Texans are rednecks or hillbillies maybe that explains why. Hey people from the north will most likely say the same thing.
I live here and I can't stand these ignorant white people, against blacks and Mexicans
I used to live in Arlington, TX. Yes, I agree with that the DFW area is very racist against non-white people. Don't know if it is the worst, but definitely a racist place. I am an Asian American.

4Arizona
Every other border state has a hispanic majority except this one, thanks to the aggressive enforcement of highly racist immigration laws. The supporters of these laws, like Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, are elected consistently. The state's border enforcement strategy is centered around forcing illegals to enter the country through the Sonoran Desert, where many die. The state has persecuted those who attempt to provide aid to the dying, making Arizona the only State to actively and legally encourage the slow death by dehydration of Hispanics. Not even the deep south can claim that.
Arizona was the last state to accept martin luther king day as a holiday. Ten years after evey other state did.
I lived in a small town in north west AZ, with my brother. Indian res on both sides no Indians in town just redneck bigots. John Wayne lived there in his day.

5Georgia
Only here in Ga( specifically west ga)do you find high schools and middle schools refusing to let children of color be in certain positions on athletic teams. Why? Because white families here want their children in those positions even if their not the best player. Heck they could even be the worst player but it doesn't matter. Only in Ga (specifically west ga) Do you have good ole boys (cops)who harass black people who own actual buisnesses by surrounding them with 3 cop cars while on their way to work (lying and saying that a tail light is out but come to find there was no tail light out).. Only in Ga do you have a billboard that declares a whole town Republicans and have a blatant disregard of Democrat voters. Only in Ga does the legislature create voting ballots that list all republicans first on the ballot even if a democrat is the incumbent. Only in Ga do racist pigs paralyze a black man where he can't do anything for himself and they don't do any prison time because he broke off a relationship with their sister/cousin. Only in Ga do whites and blacks have children together and the white grandparents raise the mixed grand kids as white racist and tell them to wear Mason Dixie clothing and sport confederate flags. I have stories for days and I've only lived here 3 yrs. Georgia gets my vote for most racist pathetic state. I hate it here and hope to leave and never look back.
I am A black male born and originally from Los Angeles but lived in Atlanta for many years. Atlanta is a very racist city and every race is to themselves. However some parts of the northeast Atlanta (including parts of Gwinnett County) are somewhat diverse, but mostly still segregated. Whites are on the northside and they view all blacks as criminals, uneducated, and crackheads as if whites don't have those problems. For Example: Bush did a lot that was criminal when he was still in office, plus he is very uneducated, and to top those he was part of the reason crack cocaine was affecting blacks in the black community. So because he was white they overlooked all that he had done to mess up the country, but now that Obama is in office everything he does is bad according to the racist whites that can't except the fact a black man is now in office. Blacks on the other hand are on the southside and they are just as backwards and racists towards other blacks and mostly blacks have treated me worst than the whites. In my opinion Atlanta as a whole is jacked up because the whites are horrific, and the blacks are no better and it's like you can't win either way with either of them, but what really gets me is that there's a church on every corner plus this is suppose to be a so-called part of the bible belt region, and you will find some of the most judgmental, hypocritical, and conservative people there. Right now I plan on relocating to Sacramento, California because it is a lot more diverse than Atlanta and I'm not saying that racism isn't there, but it's nothing compared to the racism here in Atlanta
Georgia's whites are the most arrogant and disrepectful race of people. Georgia newspapers support racial divide. White people in Georgia whites takes pride in keeping blackswith their hands out and providing other whites with a hand up. Geogia is one of many southern states who pass laws to punish and demean black people. Example "Stand Your Ground Law" and 'Right to Work Law", to name a few. The dirty south is an appropriate name for the white infested cesspool. Georgia has a high crime rate contibuted to the white man's desire to keep in power. They do thie gerrymandering, hiring corrupt police offices (majority of police force is white), discrimination in every aspect imaginable. Georgia is a nightmare when comes to race relation. Don't come to Georgia to live... The quality of life is deplorable.

6Kentucky
I'm a Kentuckian, born and bred. I love my state, but I really don't like the attitudes of most Kentuckians. They practice selective racism. My neighbors love to call President Obama the N word. I hear a stupid joke almost daily about "getting the coon out of the White House. " It's really pathetic. They know nothing about his policies. They'd believe ANYTHING about him, just because he's black. But on the flip side of things, when it comes to Kentucky basketball, these very same individuals quickly lose their racism. That just doesn't make sense, not to me. They think black people are fine playing sports, but if they are doing something "smart" or "brainy" they quickly get all upset and bent out of shape about it.
I am from Turkey and I live in south west Kentucky. Cops here will pull you over for anything if you're not white. I got thrown in jail for tinted windows. TWICE!. Who goes to jail for tinted windows?! Another incident happened when I had expired license plate tags. I was actually having dinner at Burger King with my girlfriend and 2 cops were guzzling down whoppers on the table next to me. They actually waited for me in the parking lot to pull me over for my tags! I had no idea they were expired, I thought I would get a ticket but knowing these racist mf I had to spend the night in jail and make a $500 bail the next day. That's the dirty south y'all
Everywhere I go I get looked at because I'm black like they never seen a black person before

7Arkansas
Arkansas is by far the most racist states. I have been the mississippi which has a very large black population. The Appalachians of west Virginia is the only thing that rivals it. The Ozarks of Arkansas is inhabited with a population of people that has never seen a black man in real life. The headquarters of the k has been located here for a long time. Simply put just down the street here in Harrison is a sign that says "this street is proudly kept clean by the k"
Just Moved too arkansas from Oklahoma and its very nice here! But the locals are not they act like they have never seen a black person in their life!
Is there a connection between religion and racism? Arkansas has a church on every corner. Some very nice people but perhaps racism runs deep in their psyche. This is not a sweeping condemnation... Just an observation.

8Florida
I live in Florida and my family has been here since The spanish first landed in 1513, people always ask where I'm from and when I tell them I'm American they say no no your ancestors, and I'll say my family been here almost 500 years, they just don't know how to process it. They automatically think I'm a foreigner. A friend once said that he'd wish all racist's would just die and I responded that would be about 95% of the population. Being comfortable in your own skin is where they should begin, most people have low self esteem which makes them defensive and in tolerant of others especially if they are poor, which is common in Florida.
I was shocked to hear this kind of attitude when I made a visit to Tallahassee. I had a friend (originally from Colombia, going to FSU) drive me around Tally and I noticed in a certain part of town, he scrambled to roll up his windows and lock the doors. I asked him why and he said, "We are in a bad neighborhood. There are a ton of blacks here. " What really made me upset was when I was grabbing food at a Checkers, a man murmured in disgust, and started to yell various, "racially charged" profanities at the woman in the drive thru. I honestly was shocked to hear this and convinced myself never to come back to Tallahassee. I'm sure other parts of Florida are nice, or at least I'm hoping.
I totally agree with you... It starts with being comfortable with who you are and not feeling like you are more or less important than anyone else. MOST Black, ESPECIALLY MALES have been treated with unfairness and Equality and made to feel they were less deserving than others. The People of the South needs to remember that everything around them was built from the BLOOD, SWEAT and HARD WORK of the Black Man. I am a white woman that has married out of my race and I am sick of my Husband being treated like he is LESS OF A MAN BECAUSE HE IS NOT WHITE! DUMB BUNCH OF IGNORANT REDNECKS! Get over yourself! People are People and we are all someone's child and loved EQUALLY... EVEN BY GOD HIMSELF!

9Oklahoma
I live in Edmond, OK and the majority of whites are sadly, very racist. They always blast me with exhaust or try to hit me with their cars while I'm exercising. It feels like they hate seeing an African American male not being, "lazy". They all avoid or say little to me when I'm running as if I'm some type of infectious disease. I'm always pushing myself so hard to become stronger so I can join the army after school. I want to protect the people of this nation regardless of where they come from or what they look like. I would die for any of my American brother or sisters without hesitating. It just hurts so much when a certain percentage of Americans you want to protect, treat you like dirt. It can be very discouraging, but I won't give up. I know there is good in every race and I won't lest the action of a few manipulate my will. I just wish they would see me as American Brother first and Black second. SMH
I live in Oklahoma City. I have lived here my whole life and I would have to say that I have experienced racism almost everyday of my life. Blacks are treated completely differently from whites. I worked at Aeropostale and my manager called the police on a black girl for "thinking" that she was stealing when she wasn't and she didn't even apologize. She said that she shouldn't have looked so "suspicious. " I still wonder was it that she really looked suspicious or was it just because she was black. I would go with the last one. A white person was caught red haded and and she let her slide and said "Well everyone makes mistakes, " it's ridiculous. Affirmative Action has now been voted out of Oklahoma. I have a feeling that because of this, I will be moving when I graduate college next year.
I was born and raised in Chicago. Moving to Oklahoma was a marital sacrafice and an alarming culture shock. I believe Oklahoma has been working aggressively to change their rank from #6 to their "rightful" place of #1. They are the champions of non-tolerance when it comes to race, sexual orientation and gender. Oklahoma is over 75% white and their goal is to increase that percentage. I would guess of those 75%, there is a 99% Klan membership. I am amazed they allowed an organization such as the NBA Thunder to come but we all know money talks.

10Missouri
I can almost guarantee you St. Louis, Missouri is the most covertly racist city on earth! White people are ignorant and don't like to be around black people, they don't believe black people can be good or educated or speak well, don't want them to get any type of opportunities and will go out of their way to prevent you from succeeding. They don't even want them going above a certain level in society. To put it plainly, you'll never see a white man working for a black man. You'll never see a black man with anywhere near the success that the white men have. Any successful black men are pawns for the white agenda or are freemasons (same thing). Police racially profile and will pull you over for some stupid reason like "oh I thought your license plates were to another vehicle", or "I thought your tail light was out" even though its obvious they're lying. They'll give you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt even though you're wearing one. Black people are not too much better here, we are mean and aggressive and afraid all at the same time and that's because we're raised in such a racist, unforgiving environment and lack resources for proper education, I mean the education system for the inner city is horrible. They pay out of towners to come in and try and "fix" the schools but they leave it much worse, almost like its done on purpose. Everyone who comes from out of town mentions that they've never been anywhere like this and that the people here are a different kind of mean! If you're black don't even think about living outside of the major cities, they want us quarantined or sectioned off from any type of good land. You can't even travel outside of St. Louis county without being pulled over for being black or looked at funny by racists who don't want you around them. All the good stores and places to go are in the white communities and if you come they leave in herds! They just go out of their way to make you feel as unwelcome and uncomfortable as possible and if that doesn't work, violence, covertly of course. Cowards!
Saint Louis Missouri should be in the top three... This is a horrible place to live/raise a family. You will not thrive here job wise if you are a black woman/man. The Saint Louis Public School system is horrible. The school system is full of self hate blacks, and racists whites. The Board of Education hired several firms to come in and correct problems. The first firm walked away with over 40 million-dollars, and slashed needed positions and knocked a lot of middle class people out of positions. Why was this firm brought in? Because Missouri is corrupt from the top to the bottom. Though North City is bought up over sixty-percent of the city is sitting vacant. The crime is off the chain, I hate the summer because the killing field is withe open. Whenever a black person is killed, it's not a big deal here in Saint Louis Missouri. Now when white people are attacked/killed/robbed oh the patrols in the area is beefed up to make sure they're comfortable. Look at how long it took them to find the young lady that was found in her trunk. Verses the young white woman that was killed in the Central West End, who's killers were found immediately. A black man was shot in the face last year, his death was not investigated, why because of an issue in his past. Missouri is stuck in the 1800's and yes the white people show they're racist, and prejudice and don't care.
Most things said in other MO post are true. Its such a pity that here in Missouri in St. Louis its extremely racist/biased. Bewar, I've had experience with traveling to other areas and I must say that once I return to Missouri I am again reminded of the blatent segregation and racism. In schools and working environments. Not many minorities in leadership. Minority Contractors and citizens are profiled. Caucasions live south or in Chesterfield, Wentzville, Webster Groves, and Ladue areas while minorities live north and slowly moving into the St. Charles area. Caucasion citizens seem to be unaware that the USA is a diverse place and seem to believe that only their way of life or thinking is correct. I aim to treat people with respect regardless of their race. Missouri should be at the top of the list maybe #3. SMH

11North Dakota
I lived in North Dakota my entire life up until a year ago. I am half Native American and half Norwegian. You really can not tell that I am Native American though because I have light skin. So people would say racist things about Native Americans and not realize that I am one. Some people who knew I was Native American would call me Prairie N*****. They are racist against anyone who is not White. Just outside of an Indian reservation by Minot, and somebody spray-painted on a dumpster "F*** Indians, We give you enough food and money, your welcome. " on it. If you are not White they will not make you feel welcome.
North Dakota is extremely racist and don't even care about the rights of an individual. They will stop someone just because they appear hispanic and harass them. If they don't speak english they automatically call immigration and detain them. They coerce them to sign a paper saying they will leave the country. They have the chance to fight their case with a judge but when they sign that paper, they don't get to oppose being deported. They treat them badly when detained and don't always provide sufficient food, blankets, etc. This type of treatment should be stopped if a person is not breaking any kind of law.
Well I no is bad but there crime comes from them and being so small.. I was with a group of Mexicans.. Not knowing they were being watched for drugs.. Got pulled over.. Ran my name came up clean they let me go.. And I'm black the cop didn't say anything nasty but the Mexicans were your racist.. He was just like yeah if you were white id still be on your ass color doesn't mean anything in the laws eyes...

12Tennessee
Yea I think Tennessee should be higher on the list, every time I go into a black community for my job. Its obvious I am hated for one reason. My skin color. I did inspections for mortgage companies. Went all over TN doing them, I didn't care where. My job is to drive by take photos of homes and go to the next one making notes along the way. This day... I was in a poor neighborhood in knoxville, yea mainly black. I was at a corner and noticed the house I was looking for, pulled out my camera, and well there are about 20 people on the porch sitting around drinking. Me, white, redneck hillbilly, all 200 lbs 6ft tall, driving my old mustang stops, rolls down my window and start to take pics laugh out loud. Even the black people reading this are thinking duma@@ right, well here they come about 10 to 15 men come not walking but running after me. I stop the car and got out. I asked for the lady that is on the papers. They wanted to know why, all them screaming profanity, racists remarks. This happens to be the same area where shannon christian and todd peterson were taken, abused, raped sodomized and killed a few years back. Oh yea it was done by blacks by the way. I told them I was sent by the mortgage company. I was surrounded. All a sudden this tiny lil old woman comes thru the crowd and says she is the woman I asked for. I told her who I was and what my job is. And also explained to her that I have no idea why the mortgage company has sent me. Its confidential, could be she is refinancing or she is late on a payment. I explained that I am not allowed to make contact with the home owner, but when I know people see me, I always try to stop and explain. Cause hel# I would wanna know why people are taking pics of my house. This tiny lil woman, while still holding her 40oz laugh out loud went off on the men, (that were now behind me doing God knows what laugh out loud. I'm sure they had interesting plans for me, )she ran them off back to the porch. Ill tell you I have worked a lot of different jobs, a lot of them have put me in situations like that. I'm not a man to fear anyone. My God is who I fear. But I can tell you my life was in danger and has been on many occasion for one simple fact... I was a white boy in a black neighborhood. And no never ad rednecks, hillbillys or any other breed of white folk threaten my life like that because I was taken pics of there house. How many times in your life my black friends have you felt your life was in danger because you are black? How many times were you in a white neighborhood and felt like someone or a group was gonna take your life just because you are black. Cause that's the kind we put up with. My wife wanted to start doing inspections, so I talked to the company and told them that I would allow it but I did not want her sent into any of the rough neighborhoods. The woman over it I was speaking to happen to be black, and she got a tone with me and asked me what I thought was a rough area. So I named them off to her, she replied... Oh so just all the black neighborhoods right? I said well frankly yea cause all the times I have been threatened it was in those areas. She replied to me with so much hate I can't explain in words " I never thought you was a racist, I knew you was a white boy, but I never knew you was one of those ignorant dumba@@ cracker hillbillys maybe I just need to send you there everyday and teach you something. So because I wanted to protect my wife all 98lbs of her, from the racism and danger she would endure by being sent to these neigborhoods I am an ignorant racist. To the same area that a group of black men took a young white couple, and raped and killed them for no reason but that they were white. Left him dead on the railroad tracks after sodomizing him and beating him for days... They kept her for some time raping her continuously and then stuffed still alive in the trash can in the kitchen and left her to die there. And she did. Several people, black people, in the community knew what was going on and not a damn one picked up the phone to save her life. Racism is not a problem for black people anymore... They are the racist now. Here in Tennessee and every state. And whats funny all these comments and crap on here laugh out loud do you know some stupid little 15 year old that hasn't lived long enough to have a clue about any of this started this poll?

Tennessee is extremely racist! I am from the MI and white people here are blatantly racist. They call themselves trying to disguise it, but I see right through them. I have been racially discriminated against at a few jobs and but one of them was horrible, and it was truly an eye-opener. Black people are expected to be quiet and just appreciate them for "letting" us have a job. If there is a black person is in a higher position, they are so far up somebodies behind that they reek and they are full of crap. The white people obviously feel as if they are superior, and they will coact to keep and/or put a black person in a lower position and/or class than them. They are offensive in their communication, they try to use slang or quote rap songs to appear relatable-as that is the only way that I can carry on a conversation. And they are intimidated by a person like me; who is NOT a peon or a send out; I am educated, skilled and able to communicate and carry myself in a way that clearly indicates that I am more knowledgeable in certain matters than they are. They hate that! I am moving back to the north. I realize that racism is everywhere, but it’s horrible here and I am not going to belittle myself for nobody so I am always going to have problems as long as I am here.
Yes, I live in Memphis Tennessee and the white people here are the most racist people in the world. I think these white people here are far more racist then the ones in Mississippi. These people are what you would call coward racist. They pretend not to be racist but you can tell by their conversation and body language they they truly are. Even the newspaper (The Commercial Appeal) is used as a tool that the white people use to comment and write bad things about the african-americans and the mexicans but whenever someone comment on the racism this one community (a small community at that) is all about, they delete your post and simply deny that they are bigots. The Commercial Appeal is the only newspaper that print these stupid, false reports by racist magazines like forbes and a few other that constantly down this city because it's mostly black and has mostly black officials. The newspaper does more harm then it has ever done good for this city and need to be moved to Mississippi or Alabama.

13Louisiana
I'm a black guy, but mistaken for white quite often. I've heard the "N"word used at work from upper management, at banks from tellers, from cashiers at major department stores,... Etc. Sometimes I correct them, but not all the time. They say it in front of me not knowing that I'm offended. But I have to remember that, that is why "cajuns" were deported from Nova Scotia, it was because there were very ignorant people.
Most definitely very racist. There are still seperate proms at the school from which I gradauted. I will make sure that my kids are not raised in this state.
Look at the politics. The sad part about Louisiana is that they are poor as church mice yet hate President Obama and align themselves with Republican agendas which do not and never has respected the plight of the poor or middle class. By the way I was born, raised and educated there. Spent years in the military and went back to live. Big mistake. Lack of cultural diversity and the same ole good ole boy mentality is nauseating.

Most People here are close minded, they think they know everything. They don't want to listen with other culture's ideas about anything. The white folks are protected by their government but other race were'nt. I remembered having a car accident here and the police man already decided whose fault it was without even investigating the facts. I am asian and it ended up it was my fault. They did not asked my side just but they asked the white man's side. I was rear ended but ende up it was my fault.
VERY RACIST TOWARD BROWN PEOPLE, FOR THEM ANY LATIN HERE IS ILLEGAL MEXICAN.
A ninety percent white society, full if people that treat other races like a different species. All non-whites are alienated/not as good/why talk to a black person when there are white people left in the world.

My dear grandmother always told me never to go to West Virginia. She said they were racist and "just plain mean. " Of course this is not true of everyone in West Virginia - but from what I've seen, I will continue to take Grandma's advice.
Raised in WV since I was a year old. Most of the people are extremely racist and ignorant.
I have personally been here and it is just very misgrading the different races. I believe that they should really change the way they act againt even all the races there.

16Indiana
Indiana is the most racist state in America. The police officers will kill you if you are black. Racial profiling is normal. And being a bigot is the culture here. If you are African American, black etc. Stay away from Indiana especially if you have an education because you will intimidate the petiole here and they will make your job hell. Also some blacks here are so brainwashed they will hate you too just trying to fit into an environment where they are not accepted. This is a horrible place to live. You have been warned!
I was an Army Recruiter in Bloomington In, in the mid 90s and Indiana is above and beyond racist! I would just be doing my job and feel as if I had to watch my back daily! I once spoke to an applicant over the phone received an interview and when I got to the house, they said we thought you were white and slammed the door in my face! Tragic!
My first experience of indiana was when I walked into a local walmart and ignored this homeless man askig me for change... As soon as I ignored him some ignorant racist passerby was like: don't mind that chinky gook, he's probably not even from around here anyways

17California
Yep California is racist still. In S. CA near the Fresno area- all the races are polarized against each other. I was surprised at how racist the Armenians were to the Mexicans since they were treated badly when they were the new "race" in the '40's and '50's. They weren't allowed in a country club pool, though they were allowed to join and pay dues in Fresno. Made me aware of the pecking order concept and how as each racial group gets a foot-hold, they are willing to stomp on the next guy down. So--i hold ALL minorities accountable as they rise in economic and political power since each group seems to emulate the group that oppressed them before they "made it". Just stop racism period. When we moved to N. Calif we were astounded at the "casual" racism. People expected it and were angered when we objected or "educated" them. They said WE were the weird ones since racism was common and considered the norm. We had no clue that "Little Mississippi" could exist north of Santa Rosa. Though- in the Bay Area I remember when George Wallace ran for president and in Castro Valley all the people in person said they were voting for a mainstream, but their private polls should they were really voting for Wallace- that was when he was the darling of the racists. He recanted eventually-and good for him! Shows anyone can grow up and have some integrity!
San Francisco is the worst. It is similar to living in French Canada mostly Jews who manipulate, tell untruths about a black person even though she or he will possess a four-year university degree.

The United States is merely the "United States" not a United People. These American residents are extremely afraid of me but I am not afraid of them because I know who they are: the children of slave traders. I simply feel compassion for their soles and lack of intelligence.

What can I say to a group of people who are brainwashing the world through the media: radio, cable television, Internet, etc. To hate others without hesitation.
It is very racist in San Diego, even though I have degrees and certifications it remains very difficult for me to obtain suitable employment. It is no secret that most medical jobs here in San Diego ask for those who are bilingual which is almost always those who are not black. It is a shame that you cannot live in certain places in San Diego either, I have tried to live here but it is very hard if you want to make progress in your life. I am not a racist individual, I hope that people will someday re-frame from their fears about blacks doing as good or better than themselves in life.P.S. I hate San Diego California with a passion.

18North Carolina
I was born in N C back in the mid 60's and vividly remember being called the nword by my employer. Mr Schartz was a nice man otherwise. I later surmised that he was a product of his era. As a pop warner football player, I was walking with two other kids when we were assaulted and chased into a ditch by three white teenagers. It's difficult (love/hate)because I still visit the Carolinas because all of my immediate family is there. Also, there were some decent white people who were responsible for me getting a scholarship to Barton College. Today, I am a licensed attorney in Maryland.
I lived in north carolina for 10 years. I'm 21 years old. I was born and raised in atlanta where the city is so extremely diverse you can't tell who is white and who isn't so to be racist would be a waste of time. So when we moved to NC I couldn't believe how segregated the town was and still is, my parents bought a store in the town and people blatantly said they didn't want to come to our store because we were black. And the white people are just as trashy and low class than every other race. They are all just stupid and very uneducated. How can you hate someone without knowing exactly why? I used to feel sorry for them but now I think they deserve to be stuck in a town that's 15 miles long for the rest of their lives, they have no common sense.
I am very surprised that both Texas and Florida have beaten NC on this list. I have lived in all 3 and NC is by far the most racist. By far. I was raised in Jacksonville, FL, and did not encounter racism growing up. I lived in two different parts of Texas and it was very diverse and pleasant. However, I have family in NC and have thus visited frequently my whole life. The N word is a common and accepted thing to say. They even separate out homecoming at the high schools. A black homecoming queen and a white homecoming queen. Some might think this gives all a fair chance, however it made me very uncomfortable.

I work in a public school system in SC that is very racist and unfair to black people who are qualified for the positions. It's an unwritten rule to hire just enough black people to cover a minority law that they've been sued for in the past. I've been here almost all my life and am so ready to leave; however, I can't say it's the most racist statebecause it's the only place I've lived besides Charlotte NC which was an awesome experience with the nicest people irregardless of color. Many whites in SC expect less from black people and when they see that you make more money or have better morals, they become intimmidated and a bit envious. Snakes are what I call these types! The others are very nice in your face, but they are just as evil behind your back. I don't allow them to get very close not only because they are white but because some white people have a totally diffrent mentality then I grew up with when it comes to morals, values and respect.
I have lived here for almost two years. I moved from the Midwest to here. I feel like I went back 40 years in time living here. The have the worst education system in the U.S. my daughter was ahead when we moved here, and she is now bored in all of her classes. The education system is set up so blacks can stay behind in education. They place the majority of white children in higher level classes and the black children in regular or lower level classes. I am relocating as soon as I can find a job in another state.
I have lived in SC for over 10 yrs. Never have I seen so much confederate crap, the flag flying at the state capital, state troopers are rated in the top 10 in the country for police brutality at one point. I've got pulled over for really "driving while black" numerous of times. I'm from Charleston, we have a fair but small population, but I think there is 1 cop for like every 20 people or something. They're are a lot of them. I can't stand those dickie shirts that most of the white people where. I just try to fly under the radar.

20Michigan
I'm an African American from Texas and can't seemed to understand why Michigan isn't on the top 10 as being racist. I had my own share of racism when I was a child in the public school system, but things started to smooth out for me over the years. I worked hard and prove those idiots wrong, big time! DFW is a very diverse place now, except in the rich area (hint, hint, look at D magazine). Anyway, Gross Point is awful. They all looked at my family strange, like we were not suppose to be there. We even dressed, talked, and act better than they could act in a lifetime. We had style and a kind personality. It was weird. Now the Polish town Hammtramck, the people there are sweet and so is the citizens of Warren. However, Detroit city.. Gross Point.. Little Mexican town (forgot the name and a shocker! ). The Hispanic people at this one restraunt were so rude, and came off unwelcoming towards us compare to the other people. You would think them being color/Hispanic would not make them racist towards blacks. I don't think so my friend. I was silly for thinking like that, oh well. One positive note though, Michigan is a beautiful state when you adventure out. Rich history and the nature is swell.
When you're in "Michissippi" you're surrounded primarily by blacks, whites and Arab-Americans so obsessed with racism you think you've been transported to the 'Deep South' of the past.

Not long after the Rodney King incident in Los Angeles in 1991, Detroit had their own version in which an African-American man, Malice Green, was beaten fourteen times with a flashlight until he died by two police officers. Several years prior to that in 1987, two disgruntled white auto workers killed Vincent Chin on the night of his bachelor party. Upset over the Japanese Auto Industry, the targeted, chased and eventually beat Vincent to death with a bat basically for being 'Japanese'. Vincent Chin, however, was in fact a Chinese-American. (See the Academy Award nominated documentary 'Who Killed Vincent Chin? ')

Haven't lived there for many years and it seems to get worse on the rare occasions I find myself there. What a dreadful place!
I grew up in Detroit, and I put it this way:

Blacks hates whites here and whites hate blacks. I grew up in this hellhole, and I can tell you there's nothing enjoyable about Detroit city, I love my people ( black people ) and I love white people ( my brothers ) but this city really have to be burned to the ground or something.

21Wisconsin
I live in the most racist county in Wisconsin, {Waukesha County} I see my people two to three time a year. The reason I moved here because a young white man was flying the confederate flag early in the mourning, it reminded me of picking cotton in the south. A letter with the village board stating my voting information don't match with the DMV. My ministry has suffered feeding the homeless for the last three years, I wrote on my Social Security application if I owe the government any money take it from the reparation owed to Blacks from slavery. Being disable I was cut off of benefits without no income for the last two years. The Creator grace and mercy have sustain me. When the president ran for office I had to go to Milwaukee to volunteer, Don't come here because we are not together ourselves. Sell out yes we sell each other out here, it has became all about the money. No respect for each other, the civil right movement took away out caring for each other, Preacher, professionals what are you doing for our community? HELP DON'T COME HERE IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR
I lived in Wisconsin for 4 years. I never experienced such racism. People were out right nasty. I am from Northern Maine, and have never been treated so badly. In Wisconsin I was a counselor in a Shelter for teenagers. I do not think it helped me being black and knowing all of their family secrets. I am a attractive black woman with a very compassionate heart. I was never taught hate. By husband is white and I have two adult children. Our families get along fine. There really is not that much difference in people. I have found that in the hearts of most people, we want the same things. To have a job, family, freedom to enjoy our lives and worship as we please, and try to be happy. I am so sorry some wish to hold on to something that has caused so much pain and suffering in our country and the world. Before you dislike someone because of the color of their skin or the slant of their eyes. Stop and think behind their clor is a person with thoughts and feeling just like you.
I have lived here all my life and have never been called a n***** but soon as my daughter attend college in Oshkosh, a kid call her a n*****... Of course it pissed me off, but I had to explain to her how "Ignorant" white people could really be. I work out in Germantown and has been for 10 years. It's very segregated and it's sad! You can't trust them because they love to back stab. Laugh in your face like they're your friend & trying to get a person written up or fired. The list goes on & on with the racism here in Wisconsin.

Virginia should be in the top 10. They are very insulting towards indians. My friend is Indian and the stupid racists say he stinks. Even though he smells good and definitely better than those racists. These people need to get a brain. Even the teachers at school are racist(they have a double standard against non-whites)
Virginia should be top 3 it is very racist there. I moved to VA from California in 1999 I was called N-word and discriminated against my whole time there. Southern VA is one of the most racist places in the Nation confederate flags still fly and passed off as heritage.
I lived in Virginia most of my life, about 40 years and while growing up and going to integrated schools, is where I felt the most racist of racist there. I see no change in that status at all. Some things never change. I no longer live in the state of Virginia and will never go back there ever. It's the deep South. No need to say anymore.

23New York
New York has an extremely large reverse-discrimination situation. If you are white you are not welcome in certain parts of the New York City and you don't get the same level of service that the person of color in front of you received. The divisiveness in the community is very obvious.
When I was working in real estate in upstate New York, I was shadowing our top agent. She told a black couple that they should take down any personal photos or race-specific art so that it created a more "neutral" environment. Not once did I ever experience her or any other agent asking the same of white or Asian homeowners.
New York has a lot of Blue Collar Irish, Italian, German and Polish Americans who have no more than two years of college, yet their unemployment rates are low. It is harder for a Black person with the same amount of education to get a job even if they majored in healthcare or technology

24Minnesota
We get stared at all the time, when we walk into restaurants etc. People tell us racist things, too and they have assumptions about us that we are sometimes told directly to our faces!
As a native American I can attest that bigotry is strong here. Whites use an equal approach in justifying why Indians shouldn't have casinos or fishing rights just look up PERM or MERF or anything to do with Michele bachman.
Yes, I agree. Have lived in Minnesota for 17 years as a black man and I concur with those who commented on Minnesota. Some white people have even tried to run me off the highway at night with their pickup trucks. I have escaped a few. It is hidden under the "Minnesota Nice, " it is a very racist state. It even tops the highest achievement gap of states that don't educate their minorities.

25New Jersey
My husband and I bought a house in Edison NJ. After about 4 years we were ready to sell it. One day my husband called me and said that the agent called him to say that someone had written on our for sale sign. The for sale sign that once read For Sale had now read, For Sale by N******. We had no idea who had defaced our sign. Maybe it was the guy around the corner with the confederate flag in his garage.

26Ohio
I'm a black male from California. Lived in Ohio for 2 years. Worked in Seven Hills, they were racist against an Indian guy, always making 7-11 and terrorist jokes. I was once told by a white girl as she told a story "no offense Ted, but it was so ghetto" talking about Cleveland (which had/has nothing to do with me). Had "friends" in Canton (a mixed couple, black guy-white girl) and they had a party, and every white person there (except my fianceé) was saying' n**** this n***** that... And said it was ok too because the "watch BET"... What does that even mean. And most blacks don't like white people either... So I moved back to Santa Cruz.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive through Columbus Ohio, I get pulled over by the cops for absolutely no reason. The last time it happened the officer blatantly told me to my face "It just looks like you have something to hide". He then wrote me a ticket for no seat belt when he couldn't find anything else. From what I see, the racism is not so overt as it is covert. When I went to the municipal building to negotiate the fine, I saw that the courtrooms were filled to the brim with African Americans. Sickening. Clearly its the poor and colored who are funding the Ohio municipalities. SICKENING.
I am in college in Ohio, and the people I met here are ignorant about diversity. If you don't act white, prepare yourself for racism. Most people try not be racist openly, but they would treat you differently if you are not white. The worst part is they don't admit they have a problem with disliking people from different back ground

This state is extremely racist. We have lived in Texas and Utah and never experienced the racism we have had here. My children in kindergarten have been beaten up at school by older kids for being black. We have had people leave the McDonalds playground because my family was black. We have had to switch schools. Idaho has a large white supremacist colony. We didn't experience anything like this Dallas and SLC.
Northern idaho has had a reputation of being clan country.
The nothern part of ID is K taratory and less than 1% of ID is black.

JOBS. I and many other black males have been fired for the slightest mistake, not counseled or even warned- Fired! I'm not talking about blatant stuff (thievery, fighting, drugs), I'm talking about "Tiffany said you no longer speak to her-I'm sorry but we're going to have to let you go". I'M DEAD SERIOUS!. Blacks in Colorado (on the job) don't get a second chance. You mess up once- or they falsely accuse you of a social faux paux, and you are gone. Whites get counseled- Blacks get the door!
I am so surprised that Northern and Western suburbs of Denver are not on this list. I grew up in these areas and when I was 9, walking home from school everyday only 1 block away from the elementary school, I was almost run over by two white men in a really huge truck. They ran up the side walk to get me, as if a little black girl could actually be a threat to them. My brother and I had to fight every other day due to the racial slurs. This was elementary school. When I was in middle school, my science teacher said that he figured I would get the answer wrong to a question given to the class because " look at you"
I was accused of cheating by having the same exact answer to one question on a test, I was supposed to have copied it from a white boy sitting across the room. I was given an F and not allowed to defend myself when I asked to take the test. Another class, when the series Roots was on I automatically got a name change to "Kizzie". I was ruthlessly teased by one particular white boy who sat behind me and whispered it in my ear for and entire week. When I finally retaliated, yelling at him to shut up and stop calling me a slave, I was sent to sit in the back of the room, where her continued to relentlessly pulverize me from a distance. He finally stopped when I walked over and turned his table over on him. I was 12.
Later after I grew up at 30+ yrs old I got a job in a brand new hospital just south of the business district, I was in charge of the catering department the physicians lounge had run out of plastic ware in the food area, a very affluent spine doctor proceeded to tell the other 6-8 doctors in the room about how when he was back on the plantation, these things didn't happen. When I walked in on this conversation, the other sub doctors scattered like cockroaches, while her proceeded to scold me with his finger pointing in my face, and scowling comments that I was not adequate for the position. I am a Chef. Ask me if you think that racism is not existent in the US or if we have come a long way. It depends on how you spell your name and what color your skin is, that is the deciding factor, and the question answers itself. We have a long way to go. :(
I moved to Colorado from Texas at age 10, and was called "N" for the first time within about 2 weeks of being here. Now I'm 25 and deal a lot with being prejudged. It's assumed that I steal (especially if things go missing at work), selling drugs, and have even had a neighbor call police saying that I am a prostitute. Just tonight I asked a neighbor to turn his music down, and he claimed that I am just crazy. I called the police on the last neighbor because he licked my face. I don't deserve that! With several other complaints from other neighbors he was kicked out. This guy thinks that little me got him kicked out on my own... He got a small portion of this story and assumed it's my fault. I've had enough and plan to leave ASAP!

I am a white male living in Council Bluffs and have a mixed (black/white) son who is now 19 and married to a white woman with two kids (both are mixed) it is not right that they say that there is still racism in Iowa, my son use to go with me everywhere and everyone would tell us how much he would be a heart breaker when he grew up (so very true)and how adorable he was, well now that he is older he has been friends with a lot of other friends of different races so whatever that is being said that Iowa is a racist state can see this post and SHUT THE HELL UP we are not racist
People are BEYOND racists to anyone of color especially in COUNCIL BLUFFS! It's ridiculous how whites think it's their land when technically and originally it was the Native's!

Portland is VERY racist and they do know it I'm a white woman married to a black man and have mixed kids which is yes by my choice so I don't want any you got yourself into this comments... We don't live inside Portland but on the out skirts but anytime we go to the the store and my husband hands anyone cash they put his change on the counter they will not hand it to him in his hand and people stare at us everywhere we go. I have recently gotten VERY AWARE of ow deep the hate of people here in Oregon City is since my son started going to school he is one of only 3 black children in the whole school... The kid's were telling my son that they wouldn't play with him because he's black and black people steal and black people go to jail... So as his mother I went directly to the principal who tried to brush it off by saying "kids will be kids" which was not good enough for me I tried going to the superintendent and left message after message and sent 2 letters with NO response. I again contacted the school because the teasing was not stopping so what does she do? She pulls my son out of the class and sat him in the office while they talked to the kids about why having a different skin color doesn't make you diff which made the teasing WORSE why they would pull him out only to single him more and make it twice as bad as it was before so I continued to contact the principal about this issue and her response she gave me and she said the only way she see's the problem stopping is if we move to a "more diverse area"? I WAS LIVID RACISM IS VERY MUCH SO HERE AND ALIVE TODAY AND PORTLAND IS JUST FESTERING WITH STRAIT OUT IGNORANCE! AND ANYONE WHO SAYS PORTLAND IS THE BIRTH PLACE OF NIKE SO ITS NOT RACIST IS PRETTY RACIST IF YOU ASK ME WHY BECAUSE NIKE LIKES BLACK PEOPLE IN THEIR CAMPAIGNS?
I lived in West Linn just outside of Portland, and I have to say that there is a lot of racism in Oregon. It's just very hush hush, you know they don't want to seem behind or stupid up there. When me and my husband first got married we went to visit a family friend of my in laws just outside of Portland and the first thing she said was "I bet your mom was real happy to see that you didn't bring home a little n***** girl". I guess she just assumed that everyone in Mississippi are African American. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and there are tons on interracial couples and biracial people. I grew up with just as many African American friends as white and I never have been spoken to in Mississippi like I was in Oregon. I will say that the United States as a whole is a very racist country compared to many others. We have a long way to go.
Ha I love the people on this list that claim an entire state to be racist because of the idiots that live there. There is a lot of racists in many different states. That somehow makes the state racist? It is one thing if the government of that particular state is racist, but seriously. This list is by itself stupid. As many racists in the world there are still people who simply aren't, and on more than one occasion these people outnumber the racists. Oregon, as well as countless other states are that occasion. One person, or a group of people do not make a state racist. I just hate how people would honestly make such poor generalizations, based on random encounters with racist people.

Montana is in my opinion the most racist state you can vist. If you have any color in your skin you will be followed in stores and most likely pulled over. I have live here quite some time and am glad to be moving. This state is a joke and seriously needs work.
Yes Montana is a racist state.. I have lived here for over 18 yrs. I am of mixed decent and the only reason I stayed was because my husband liked it here. He died some time ago and I cannot wait to get out of here.
Just because Montana Universities recruit African-American athletes does not make the state as a whole any less racist; it just means these colleges want to win. Not everyone in Montana is racist, but these rural towns who sport confederate flags and tell racially derogatory jokes when no minorities are around sicken me. These same individuals when confronted about their actions lie about doing so and initiate smear campaigns against their accusers, in which all the white employees corroborate and lie, along with the all white Human resource staff to cover up their own infringement of Human Rights Laws. I just do not understand why people go to such great lengths to avoid their discriminatory practices when they employ them at their leisure and in the " Good ole Boy" state with out repercussion because everyone protects each other. This state Government is corrupt!

I moved from NJ to Pa a few years ago, foolishly thinking it would be similar just less crowded. Boy was I wrong! They are the most xenophobic, racist uneducated trash I have ever met. Its like I stepped into the 1960's! People here get away with hate crimes, they use the word "colored" like its proper to use, and they are the meanest, least friendliest folks ever. A friend from the south said she's seen more confederate flags here than down there! The racism is so bad even those who had kids with AA are racist! They drive around with these kids waving the confederate flag and use the "n" word like it nourishes them! The healthcare system is failing, and the education system is worse. Professionals here are just glorified trailer trash. Outside of Philly & parts of the Lehigh Valley, and maybe East Stroudsburg area, Pa is a racist, xenophobic, uneducated wasteland. Stay away!
I am from Mississippi one of the most racist states in America. I traveled to Redding, PA to go to the mountains. When I was on the highway, there was a group of white people riding in a vehicle behind me and my friends. They pulled along beside us and were all hanging out of the windows screaming "GO BACK TO MISSISSIPPI, GO HOME N******!"
It's actually been proven PA is the most racist state. I know it because I live there! (I am also a bit racist, no offense). But anyway, in almost every conversation I overhear in more populated, unfriendly areas of the state has something racist in it! Whether a joke or pure racism, every conversation.

If she s going to be a teacher with such racists views I wouldn't offer a job at my school. New Zealand is very multi cultural and not racists. Such racists sentiments should be kept in MARYLAND!

I came here from MA almost 40 years ago, and yes, there's an undercurrent of racism here that's never subsided. They don't like the Native American population at all. Almost anyone not born here is never accepted by the white-haired Old Guard. I purposely never lost my Boston accent just to piss off some of the population myself, and it still works. Some love it, others hate it. There's no middle ground. It used to bother me when I first arrived here, but I couldn't care less anymore. When I see them getting annoyed, I laugh, which makes them even madder. If you come here from somewhere else and be a Democrat to boot, be prepared to get some really cold shoulders from some of the native hicks here.

I worked in state law enforcement in kansas. I and other state latinos faced a very racist administration. I worked for the Kansas Dept of Corections. The administration we were under have Fred Phelps Jr. And his sister Marjie as leaders. The folks Marjie hired targeted three latino men for termination. They suceeded in getting one terminated and are still activley trying to get rid of the others. Several coworkers have told me they can't believe what they are witnessing. Blantant racism against latino men by a small group of white female administrators. I will be filing a chapter seven complaint for all the good it may do.
Former Kansan... Never felt it until I left, and saw how the other states and foreign countries were. Kansas is on the edge of the south, and accumulates some of the racist and xenophobic ideas that pervade our nation. It's also Republican--is there a corollary?
Heard the worst anti-black jokes from small-town Kansans who had only seen blacks on trips to Wichita or Kansas City.

I was born and raised in Chicago. Chicago is one of the most racist cities in America. The neighborhoods are racially segregated, and even Mayor Daley lives in the most racist neighborhood in Chicago, Bridgeport. Young people have to worry about being in the wrong neighborhood wearing the wrong colors, but the Chicago Police Department is the biggest and most deadly gang in Chicago. The Chicago Police use people of color, the homeless, small children and even the elderly as punching bags and for target practice with their guns. The judicial system of Chicago and Cook County is terribly racist and corrupt. Many blacks are murdered every year, due to racist cops. If you have children, don't raise them in Chicago.
I grew up in Rural Indiana. I have lived throughout Indiana, also in IL, SC, AL, WY, KY, TN. Chicago is by fare the most openly racist place that I have worked or lived. Beaufort, SC was the least racist, the whites were to busy shunning me for being a Yankee. Birmingham, AL may have trumped Chi town, not as openly racist, but when a statement was made you could feel the hatred. KY, TN, WY, well I didn't hear to much racism because there were few other races in these areas, if that doesn't speak volumes. Wouldn't it be nice if we all matured as we aged. 35YO SWM

Washingtongian in Seattle since birth and not so proud of calling myself an Washingtonian at all since realizing that racism exist evening in Seattle. African Americans are continuing mistreats whether it's in any professional field in Seattle. I'm Caucasian and Asian American and it's disgusted when hearing family or friends disgracing African Americans in today society. We all have our issues and my culture is not prefect too. If it's not the Asian, Latinos, Caucasian, Arab, Scandivian, Irish disrespecting them or continuing secretly insulting them during interview for a job by offering them less then what they deserve instead forcing them out of an employment to make way for our Caucasian or light skinned cousins who are racist against the black cultures as well. While having certain people spying on them them while they are shopping in small business the community they live in. It usually their own race doing the same. Which brings to me to this question. Are black people not proud of their cultures and leaders who tried to encourage them to do better for themselves as well showing respect toward the elders or people?

Racist to whites I tell you.
If your are a person of color, ie. Asian, mixed Asian, Black, Mulatto, Native, Latino, Pacific Islander; you can almost forget about getting a white collar job. If you drive around Anchorage, very rarely you will see a minority wearing a suit or if you go to board meetings, conferences or any business event. Most professional minorities there are self employed because of that barrier and yes most have advanced degrees and Ba's. Besides from the professional atmosphere, its pretty tolerant of different racial groups and has all types of mixing. Great place for blue collar workers for any group.

I'm Native American, I went to Yale; and during one summer session I took at Brown I was looking for a place to live; I had someone respond to an ad I placed online as a "room wanted" ad and I swear I remember specifically writing it saying I am Native American so no slamming the door in my face when you see me, sort of thing. When I got there she asked me "how did you get into Yale; I thought you had to be smart to get into Yale. " I guess people don't realize after they SEE me that all of the Ivies DO accept qualified minorities? I went to a college prep high school in the suburbs in California, scored in the top 97th percentile of all students at the time on the ACT's, and got straight A's. The only part of that which apparently "looks too stupid" to have gotten accepted into not only Yale but Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and Johns Hopkins, is the color of my skin. But no, Rhode Islanders are either too bat-ass naive to see that that's a racist thing to say or else they are doing it on purpose. Needless to say I spent the entire summer session at Brown, living in a motel so I wouldn't have to deal with people like that about renting a room in their house. Now, maybe Rogue's Island isn't ranked very high on this list because of all the COVERT things like that which happen to people, and there aren't very many of them - I mean, in all fairness, I got told by a friend of mine that people in Boston were saying behind my back that "she didn't go to no college at all" (and no, that's not a Harvard-Yale rivalry thing. They meant NOT AT ALL. Not that Harvard is their idea of the "only" thing that constitutes a college and everything else, starting with Yale and Princeton, are "not colleges at all. ")

45Delaware
Delaware is a fairly good state and doesn't seem to have anywhere near as much corruption as many states - The least corrupt are Connecticut; New Jersey; Vermont; Maryland; Rhode Island; Massachussets; and Delaware
Delaware is the worst state to for anyone. After most people move out they then refer to it as HELLAWARE. It's a very corrupt state. It's tax free shopping however the state troopers are so corrupt they will do anything to generate revenue... I mean anything. Stay away!

46Maine
I WENT TO TWO CITIES IN MAINE 2009 AND 2010? AM A AFRICAN WOMAN. WE WAS GIVEN DIRTY LOOKS AND STARES LIKE WE COULD AFFORD TO BE HERE. MY DAUGHTER OVERHEARD TWO YOUNG WHITE GIRLS, SAYING LOOK THEIR RICH BLACK GIRL AND SHE IS WEARING RALPH POLO, AND HAVE A POM POM DOG. THEN SOMEONE ASK US WAS HE REAL?

47Wyoming
Stopped at a firework stand in wyoming started talking to the owner found he was from the phoenix area, I asked him why he decided to move to wyoming. He told me with a creepy gleam in his eye, "The people in phoenix are just dirty they are a lot cleaner up here if you know what I mean, " implying that dark people are dirty

48Massachusetts
Here in Mass, we've got on one side the left-wing apologetic whites - who do everything they can to make certain that everybody knows that they aren't racists. This includes recognizing race to the n'th degree, resulting in racism. Ask these people about other races, and they have no real clue. In fact, they almost all say things like, "Oh, I have a black friend, or an Asian friend or so on and so forth. Really? They only have "token" friends, and do it to prove that they are PC. And as for the other side, we have loads of white trash Yankees (no, not the ball team) that hardly have any education that use N almost as they use the female derogatory term "B" (not to offend), and would rather spend their hard-earned cash at the local pub than on their own families.
I experienced racism against Hispanics often in my teenage years - from racial slurs being yelled out at a distance in high schools, and jr. Colleges from people I didn't know. I experienced being a teenager and filling out employment applications for approximatally 60 summer job part time openings advirtized in the local newspaper (even low paying fast food places) for the entire summer and never given even an interview. I was forced to sign up for a special minority youth summer program so I could get some employment the following year.
You think Ma is blue state, so people there are liberal. WRONG! They are only liberal when they vote. Everyday life, they believe Whites can cut in the line in front of minority. They do it so naturally as that's their god giving right. THE MOST HYPOCRITICAL NASTY PEOPLE in the U.S. look how they drive! That's shows how ugly they are inside. SHAME ON YOU GUYS!

49Hawaii
Hawaii should be first! They hate everyone! Funny part is almost NO ONE is NATIVE Hawaiian but they wanna act like they are. Everyone is Hawaiian and Asian mix (Japanese, Filipino, you name it) but they all wanna claim like they're native Hawaiian. They hate Caucasians (haoles) with a passion but hate blacks and Indians even more. You won't get a job unless you're local or Asian. And local means you know someone. This place sucks except for the weather. Aloha spirit my ass. Laziest people I've ever encountered. That's why they never leave, they don't want to work hard so they stay here. Dumbest people ever. Pick up a book.
Hawaiians are nothing but racists, if you live in hawaii they call you haole if you are white, you could be brown skin and they'd still accept you on first sight because you don't appear white, aloha spirit my ass, the teenagers are even more racist then the grown ups and parents, white people have been murdered for being white in hawaii and cops laugh and look the other way... Hawaiian women are jaw droppingly sexy but the most bloodless heartless racist women you'd ever meet, they're very hung up on the past and blame white people for racism and their past and how they grew up but the funny thing is they never leave so that's the only place they can talk and be tough and they don't do anything to help racism or fix the problem, all they no how to do is judge people by how they were born... Two wrongs don't make a right
I've lived here for 4 months now... From Hawaii (Born & raised) I am in the banking industry. I have showed my ability to perform my duties and learn in an efficient amount of time. I even correct the supervisors that have been with the company for 5+yrs. They still treat me like last class, like I am LESS, not as bright, as though I have to work twice as hard to get the same level of respect. By the way, I am a 26 yr old female (African American), and there are 7 other employees. 6 being Caucasian. 1 being an older Hawaiian woman

50Vermont
Its bad in all but few states, I am thinking about move to wva also-all thes crime caused by poverty crap is bull. Everyone of us"poorfolks"have food, home, elect, water, T.V.'s, cable, e-net, phones, clothes-some of us actually work for it, to live a poor nice, peacful life. People robbing, stealing, dealing, attacking, killing are not doing it cause they are poor! Its their culture, its what they like, its what they teach. Its what is being puched/forced on everyone everywhere, if its not in your town-it will be-the gov seems to play poor folks of all races against each other, while they take our $$ waste it give it too others, then say we have no right to live with people who just leave each other and each others belongs the f alone, people who want to be together should be allowed to, them who don't should not be forced to-where is our freedom?
I'm a native born Vermonter and lived here all my life. Years ago it was awesome (and conservative) but in the 60's and 70's all the draft dodging hippys fleeing to Canada found they need travel no further than Vermont. The Liberals have since flocked here and ruined this state. They have driven out businesses, taxed everything and made wages nosedive, all while inviting in Illegal Aliens and treating them better that the people who have worked and lived here all their lives. I hate to say it, but I'm selling out and moving my family the hell out of here very very soon. I'm thinking West Virginia.
Vermont is a "reverse racist" state. The "white guilt" exuding from the extreme liberals who have invaded from Massachusetts & New Jersey is sickening. They gloat when they hear that a native Vermonter can't find room in the homeless shelter on a sub zero night, but all the Somali Refugees are GIVEN brand new townhomes to live in! EVERYONE should be treated the same!
