Small-town Wisconsin! It's where

- young people don't think racism exists because they've never been anywhere that people of other races exist

- there's only one black kid and he's so good at sports that people go "we aren't racist; we LOVE our star running back!"

- Baby boomers still talk about the "race riots" as if Milwaukee has been a non-stop war zone for the last 40 years

- plenty of folks who don't have any hate in their heart still treat anyone non-white/non-Christian/non-straight as alien

 

Or did I just describe everywhere? I've only ever lived in Wisconsin myself so I'm sure my own point of view isn't terribly enlightened or deep.

93.1 JAMZ, Madison's number one for hip-hop! *Katy Perry plays*

 

"Look, we know you folks aren't really ready for actual hip hop, so we'll just play a couple of Drake songs and then follow that up with Lady Gaga."

They play old shit like California Love every now and then too.
