[Virginia Dare]

in fact, I have seen it with my eyes, there are places in Virginia where not much has changed sociologically since the Civil War. However, those pockets are getting smaller, and those areas are increasingly less populous.

This is of course just anecdotal, but the most racist place I've been to by far is the Gulf Coast area of this country. I was born and raised in the D.C. area, and have lived most of my life in Virginia, have many relatives from rural areas of Virginia, so I consider myself pretty jaded when it comes to racism, but I was literally shocked by it the first time I went there.
