Why do people who choose to live in the vast ghettos of the North always feel superior to people whom live like human beings ought to in most of the country?

Also, and I'm sure you're aware; most of the backward areas that you're talking about have created most of American culture. From literature to music to a majority of our Presidents, the South and Midwest have far outshined the self-congratulating heathens of the dirty metropolitan North (and L. A.).

And, of course, while blacks stopped getting killed by cops in the South a generation ago, New York is constantly in the midst of some great scandal involving a bunch of racist cops needlessly killing innocent black people.

What gives?
