My take is, there’s no shortage of idiots anywhere. They just tend to be more open about it down South.

That’s bizarre. I wouldn’t guess it’s a city paint-over either, though it does look an awful lot like the dull gray that municipal crews use to paint out writing on concrete block walls.

This kind of thing has been a problem in Culver City for awhile along with parts of Westchester, Playa Del Rey and Venice (well LA has a gang problem within its lower socioeconomic spheres and as we see from Will’s picture, it can go across race lines), less so now, because gentrification knows no race…lol…yeah very odd, one gang graffiti gone the other gang graffiti left up, weird, maybe they think it’s art.

Happy to see LA defended, but my point wasn’t meant to be about where racism and bigotry thrives mightiest nor what state or city is the leader of that pack. And as the incident provoking this post took place in Culver City, L.A. wasn’t even on my radar.

I can’t speak much to Alabama, but having spent time working on projects in Tennessee and Northern Florida, I can say that the racism is anything but lingering in some parts of the country… its alive and well.

Bigots do exist everywhere, but while LA certainly has a lot of lingering racism I think we’re far ahead of some parts of the country.

At least our local papers don’t run ads by the KKK for “christian camps” for like minded individuals.

The sad thing is just when I think we are making progress something like this pops up to slap you back to reality.
