>Yet on the other hand, most PoC in the Midwest have a culture that is different on most of the above. So when a white Midwesterner doesn't treat a black Midwesterner that speaks, dresses, even walks differently as a part of the community is it racism? I would say no since it isn't about race but is about culture.
That would explain the slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynching, and segregation...

I think this discussion is geared a lot more towards the Upper Midwest, not the South as a whole. As many are saying, the climate of discrimination is very different between the two.
