PRSplaya is right in that the whole racial thing is much more strong down here in the south. It is a day to day thing for us down here. Trust me, there's not many blacks down here that like us crackers...I was just called a cracker for no reason a couple of days ago at a gas station. Just filling my tank and he walks by, stops, looks at me and just says "Your in the wrong part of town cracker"...I just laughed at him, turned around to my truck and started banging my head on the side of it talking to myself "don't do it, don't do it, noooooo, I'm not gonna do it, I'm not gonna listen this time" haha, he freaked out and literally ran off screaming "that white boy is crazy"..
One thing I've learned is that phycho's and voodoo stuff really freaks them out, so anytime I'm confronted in a racial way, I go all out to make them think I'm pyschotic or something just to laugh at how they respond....

I have some black friends that are cool as hell and I get to know someone or will at least have a legitimate reason for disliking someone.
