    The further north you go the more segregated it gets and still is today. But we never think of the northern states as segregated.

      As the old saying goes, “In the north, they don’t care how loud you get, so long as you don’t get too close. In the south, they don’t care how close you get so long as you aren’t loud.”

        This is not true. Northern cities are still extremely segregated. We say it’s because of economics now, but it’s effectively segregation. The underlying causes of the economic disperity largely remain in place also.
