racism is a serious issue in the United States sort of always has been but the
reality is you could find it in every corner of the world against all people despite Decades of
progress towards equality in the United States it's still part of life here in 2023. like I
said the same thing can be said for every single country on the planet where humans
are walking around just part of life it's sort of like war in that sense we've always had Wars
on this planet and we always will no matter how many people we hurt no matter how much
we hate it we will always have people that are perfectly fine with war and racism no state is
immune from having an unfortunate history of racism my Irish family talks about when they
first moved here they tried to start their new life in what was downtown Los Angeles at the
time they got chased out by the English that is obviously very mild compared to some of the
other things that have gone on in this country obviously some races have seen a lot more and
a lot of states have a lot more in this video we will discuss the 10 most racist States in
the United States and what factors contribute to their ranking got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Arizona I'll tell you right now Arizona is one of our few trips out west
in this video if you already don't know most of this video is going to take place in the
South you haven't been paying attention Arizona has a large Hispanic population but it still
faces significant issues when it comes to race relations the state has been criticized for Harsh
immigration laws which many argue are rooted deep in the culture and the state government
in Arizona 71.4 percent of their bias motivated crimes are towards race ethnicity or ancestry
number nine South Carolina South Carolina has a long troubled history when it comes to race
relations including a history of slavery and segregation the state has also been
criticized in recent years for voter suppression efforts I mean they've had that for a while but
it's coming back in the news again they've been trying to purge voter rolls and a whole
bunch of other things in 2022 they went back in the news with a new voting law which many
argue will disproportionately affect people of color when it comes to bias motivated crimes
in South Carolina it's not always about race or ancestry they go after each other for religion and
sexual orientation 28 of those crimes are against people of another religion and sexual orientation
is about 11 percent South Carolina is one of those states that nobody should be surprised by
number eight North Carolina North Carolina has a history of discrimination against African
Americans particularly in the voting rights now you'll see voting rights here a lot that always
seems to be the go-to thing when you're looking at racism in different states but North Carolina
has been criticized for voter suppression efforts which includes strict voter ID laws
and purging of voter rolls they're another one that's been in the news in recent years with
stricter voting laws now we know we do have to have voting laws and I think there should
be an ID with it but I think if they're going to make that ID they got to make it easy to get to
do like at every city hall or something like that one of the biggest problems that people
have with that voter ID thing is if you want to get it done there's some hoops you got to
go through and a lot of times you got to go to some office that's like 20 miles away or
something and obviously they feel it's targeting people living in poverty who don't have the
means to just drive around to some office and wait three hours while you get some government
official to give you a voter ID just as long as we don't go to that thing that they have in some
Central American countries where you vote and then they dip your thumb in like this ink that
doesn't wash off for like a week or a month or whatever so they know you voted so if you show
up at a place to vote they always got to look at like your left thumb to see if it's been
died or not that might be good then people quit wearing those stupid stickers I voted as they get
their latte 79.6 percent of North Carolina's bias motivated crimes are race and ancestry
related 13.4 percent are sexual orientated and religion is 6.5 I think North Carolina
is another state where they've got some good sized cities and I don't think a lot of the people there
really care about the gender thing or gender identity it's just not how North Carolina is
number seven Texas Texas has a large diverse population but it still faces significant issues
when it comes to race relations the state has been criticized for its harsh immigration laws
which like Arizona many feel are rooted in the local government and the culture of the people
now this one I I don't agree with this one and it's just from my experience I'm sure you can
have all kinds of stories where there's been racism in Texas but that could be everywhere
but my experience with people from Texas and when I've been in Texas there really wasn't
much of it that's just my own thing and sometimes your feelings don't match up with the stats in
this case that's my views of Texas Texas also has recently tried to pass some new voting laws which
again many argue disproportionately affect people of color now when you look at biased
motivated crimes in Texas 70.1 percent are due to race ethnicity and ancestry you know I'm having
a really hard time saying ethnicity today so I'm just gonna drop it the rest of the time just let
let it be known I mean it also in all of them but 17 are because of sexual orientation and only 7.5
are because of religion now here's a new one that's growing in Texas gender identity that's
1.9 of the bias motivated crimes and that of course is according to the Department of Justice
number six Arkansas surprise surprise our old pal Arkansas shows up on a list like this this
one should be no surprise to anyone Arkansas has a history of segregation and discrimination
especially when it comes to education the state has been criticized for its underfunded and
segregated schools which have contributed to persistent racial achievement gaps Arkansas is
another one of our fine States that's been accused of voter suppression efforts now according to the
Department of Justice their bias motivated crimes look like this race and ancestry are
68.4 percent sexual orientation is 21.1 percent now they have no problem it at least it appears
on these numbers here with gender identity there's zero they don't have many crimes like
that but when it comes to religion yeah they do it's actually 11 myself I think the reason they
don't have many gender identity motivated crimes is because people that are transgender probably
know not to go to Arkansas now this whole video is kind of based on race and ancestry I mean the
most racist States but this kind of flows into it all the bias motivated crimes now
there's a reason I have to say that if I leave that door open you're gonna have a
bunch of jackaloons in the comment section going when did transgender become a race
when did sexual orientation become a race this video is about race I've been doing
this a long time I kind of know when I'm leaving the door open for people [Music]
number five Georgia now in my opinion I think Georgia is one of the states that's made the most
Improvement since let's say the 1950s especially when it comes to Southern States Georgia has a
long history of discrimination against African Americans dating back to the days of slavery the
state has been criticized for voter suppression efforts which includes strict voter ID laws and
purging of the voter rolls and of course this was brought up in the news during the 2020 election a
whole bunch of political nonsense was going on in Georgia and this was part of it now according to
justice department Georgia has its other issues let's look at their numbers for bias motivated
crimes 67.3 percent of those bias motivated crimes are because of race or ancestry religion
is 13.3 percent sexual orientation is 12.2 percent here's a new one they're discriminating against
the handicap yes 3.7 percent of the bias motivated crimes are to Target people with
disabilities they're all over the map because they got two percent are after gender identity
number four Tennessee this one surprises me and it doesn't surprise me one it's a Southern state
so instantly you're just gonna assume it's got a good amount of racism floating around the hills
here but then I reflect on the people I know from Tennessee and I really don't see much of
this in them you know 10 15 people it's not a good sample size but that's just kind of
my opinion that being said the volunteer state has a history of racial discrimination and again
especially when it comes to education the state has been criticized for underfunded and segregated
schools this of course means fewer minorities going to college less College attainment a
smaller educated Workforce this just kind of keeps the state where it is a lot of poverty
Tennessee also has a history of voter suppression and disenfranchising people of color when it comes
to bias motivated crimes in Tennessee 70 percent of them are race or ancestry with 20 percent being
sexual orientation religion comes in five percent of them and gender identity is 2.5
number three Louisiana Louisiana is another state that has a very difficult history when
it comes to race relations the state has a high percentage of African Americans but they still
face significant discrimination in areas such as employment and housing Louisiana also has one of
the harshest criminal justice systems which really leans into people of color Louisiana
is another one of those states where you're going yeah no kidding when it comes to bias
motivated crimes race and ancestry is 67.5 percent of those sexual orientation is 15
religion is 12.5 percent and disabilities is 2.5 percent well above the under one percent of gender
identity I think with New Orleans and some of the other cities that just have this tolerant type
Vibe I think that's a little less of a thing than it is in a lot of other Southern States
number two Alabama the Yellow Jacket State comes in at number two and imagine that it's another
southern state and stop typing it's not the Yellow Jacket States the yellow Hammer State
how many of you froze the video made a comment and now are just learning I was joking Alabama's
another state that has a troubled history when it comes to race relations especially when you
take a look at the Civil Rights era the state has been known for its discriminatory policies
and practices such as their segregation laws that were in place until the 1960s
more recently Alabama has been criticized for its harsh immigration laws which many
argue are rooted in racism Alabama is a true stereotypical Deep South State
when it comes to their bias motivated crimes 78.6 percent are race or ancestry religion
is 17.9 percent only 3 percent are sexual orientation and they don't care about gender
identity disabilities or gender they just care about where you came from and who you worship
all right before we get to number one if you enjoyed this video and you want
to watch another one at the end of this video there'll be two videos
suggested to you if you like watch one of those really helps out the channel
well those stats YouTube's looking at these days all right on to number one
and number one main
just kidding Mississippi that's right the king of all Southern States Mississippi or
the Magnolia state whichever you want to call it just don't call it Mississippi you gotta say it
properly Mississippi Mississippi has a long and Infamous history of racism starting with
slavery and continuing through the Jim Crow era Mississippi has the highest percentage of
African Americans of any state in the country but they still face significant discrimination
in areas such as education housing and employment Mississippi also has a history
of racially motivated violence including the murder of civil rights activists in the 1960s
sure that was many years ago but it's left its mark on the United States and Mississippi when
it comes to bias motivated crimes 87.5 percent of Mississippi's are race religion is 12.5 percent
everything else is under one percent those are the only things they care about I guess
all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
information of it now go out have a great day and be nice to each other
