Again with the bullshit. If other parts of the country had symbols associated with white supremacy that were being taken down you'd see this happening everywhere else. Quit trying to shovel a nation's racism onto just one region. It's old and it's historically false. I won't go over it again. Chicago. Los Angeles. New York. The list goes on and on of places with "race riots" (read: white people rampaging against those damn darkies) OUTSIDE of the South in just the last 75 years, as in, only the single lifetime of an average citizen.
I know it might feel nice to tell yourselves that this only could happen down here but it's in every fucking place where you all live. This region simply has a multitude of symbols, flags, statues, and whateverthefuck that allow its unsavory elements to coalesce over certain causes. Isolating racism to the southern United States in the year 2017 is fucking ignorant and a disservice to those who suffer in all of this. "It's just the white people THERE that are the problem!" Get outta here with that told-you-so bullshit.
Shitbag wouldn't be our rotten excuse for a president if it was only this region that went his way. It won't help anything long-term to shun national culpability.
