vue - Races and Cultures in the Deep South of the United States: Educational Film
The Southern United States—commonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, or simply the South— is an area in the southeastern and south-central United States.

The South has traditionally shown the strongest instances and rules favoring racism against Blacks and Hispanics.[2][3] The Southern ethnic heritage is diverse.[4] The central factor has been the consequence of plantation dependence on slave labor; the presence of a large proportion of African Americans in the population; and the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War. Historically, the South relied heavily on agriculture, and was highly rural until after 1945. It has since become more industrialized and urban and has attracted national and international migrants. The American South is now among the fastest-growing areas in the United States. While there has been rapid economic growth, every Southern state with the exceptions of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida has a higher poverty rate than the American average.[5] Poverty is especially prevalent in rural areas.[citation needed] Sociological research indicates that Southern collective identity stems from political, demographic, and cultural distinctiveness. The region contains the Bible Belt, an area of high church attendance, especially Evangelical churches such as the Southern Baptist Convention. Studies have shown that Southerners are more conservative than non-Southerners in several areas, including religion, morality, international relations and race relations.[6][7] This is evident in both the region's religious attendance figures and in the support for the Republican Party in political elections since the 1960s.[6][7] Overall, the South has had lower percentages of high school graduates, lower housing values, lower household incomes, and lower cost of living than the rest of the United States.[8] These factors, combined with the fact that Southerners have continued to maintain strong loyalty to family ties, has led some sociologists to label white Southerners a "quasi-ethnic regional group."[9] In previous censuses, the largest ancestry group identified by Southerners was English or mostly English,[10][11][12] with 19,618,370 self-reporting "English" as an ancestry on the 1980 census, followed by 12,709,872 listing "Irish" and 11,054,127 "Afro-American".[10][11][12] Almost a third of all Americans who claim English ancestry can be found in the American South, and over a quarter of all Southerners claim English descent as well.[13] The South also continues to have the highest percentage of African-Americans in the country. Apart from its climate, the living experience in the South increasingly resembles the rest of the nation. The arrival of millions of Northerners (especially in the suburbs and coastal areas) and millions of Hispanics means the introduction of cultural values and social norms not rooted in Southern traditions. Observers conclude that collective identity and Southern distinctiveness are thus declining, particularly when defined against "an earlier South that was somehow more authentic, real, more unified and distinct." The process has worked both ways, however, with aspects of Southern culture spreading throughout a greater portion of the rest of the United States in a process termed "Southernization". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_south

The problem with this film is that it is "OLD". O - L - D; OLD. What's the matter, you can't get the nerve to come down South and show the crap going on in the modern world? Or are you some BS Northern two faced white guy that can't even tell anyone what European ethnic group you belong to. Or that you, your parents, and your grandparents were involved in stopping Blacks from moving in neighborhoods by threatening them even worse than in the South. Get real - leave this film for posterity and go film what's going on - NOW - in 2016 United States of America.

It's known that whites in " The Deep South " were the most racist, yet you can't group black people in Louisiana with black people in Georgia as they responded to racism differently. Even though I always thought black people in Louisiana were more defiant than in Georgia, it was census figures as proof. If not, another explanation as to why Louisiana' black population was 183k larger in 1950 than in 1920 after 3 straight decades of net gains, while Georgia's black population was 143k smaller in 1950 than in 1920 after 3 straight decades of net black population loss. WTF ...even Alabama and Mississippi had net gains in 1950 to 1920 though not like Louisiana.

Also, if you think about it, the loop current in the Gulf of mexico would bring it along Alabama and Florida, then it would catch a ride through the florida straits (Cuba) before being shoved north on the gulf stream (Bahamas, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Massachusetts) Before it goes off to the north Atlantic and thus Either Iceland or the U.K. before it works its way south to Spain and Africa.

The Iowa segment sounds the most familiar to me despite having visited all the different regions mentioned in the video...

It’s the politics that for as long as anyone can remember have kept the poor whites poor, the poor blacks poorer, the former a hair better off than the latter, while a few in both groups get a pass to the sunny side of the street, just to keep up the illusion of fair play and golden opportunity that America peddles like Powerball tickets.

Behind the Damage control practiced by the Atlanta area media, the Metro Atlanta jurisdiction of Forsyth County was the most racist place in the South during the 20th century. It was so racist to the point where MLK never even referenced it despite proximity to Atlanta.

Title is totally misleading.

Just an interesting pleasant, little story--nothing more!

What a strange film. I could swear that's William Conrad narrating.
