I agree that that's the nature of the culture there. But I also saw a
similar reaction to Colin Kaepernick kneeling outside the South...
places like California. I know RWers all over the US who get upset by
him kneeling. So, yes, it's probably more likely in the South,
especially in Mississippi, but it's not limited to there or limited to
Southerners.

Though remember that many of the BLM protests are over unarmed Blacks
shot in places like the Midwest. So, again, not strictly a Southern
phenomenon. Bigotry isn't monopolized by any region. I'm in Washington
state, and there are definitely bigots here. (They tend to be more
noticeable, of course, once you get outside of the Seattle area.)
