8. Are you saying that people in the North don't use the word ni**er?

Because I lived 21 years in Ohio, and now 20 years in Georgia. I have many relatives from both states; some from very rural/red areas.

I hear the N-word used by relatives in Ohio just as much as Georgia.

I also have relatives in the South that live in small towns that are very liberal.

Again, the North is no better than the South when it comes to bigotry and racism.

Do I really need to post all of the news stories about skinheads from the area I grew up in (Toledo, OH).
