Hatred and violence during civil rights movement

[American]

I'm watching a History Channel program "The Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr", and I was quite surprised by a statement he made while protesting in Chicago. He was there protesting housing inequality and real estate discrimination. He was even struck in the head when white were throwing brick and stuff at the protesters. He said that the hatred in Chicago was worse than anything he saw in Mississippi and Alabama.

I was surprised, but I say that all those on the left who have been picking on the south for its racism can now shutup. The North was worse, THE NORTH WAS WORSE and you guys (and you know who you are) who have been stereotyping the south can eat your words from now on.

Chicago is a Democrat town.

The North wasn't worse. The South wasn't worse. They both stunk.

What King was saying was the people in the North were less blatant but still descriminated. While in the South they had no problem being very open about it.

If you did not live through the 60's then it is hard to imagine just how bad things were in the South at that time.
