North Carolina vs. South Carolina

South Carolina, duh!

I just don't get the Thurmond hate here, at least not to the level of considering him worse than other politicians of his era.  For a 1940s Southern politician he was a moderate, which was precisely why he was selected as the standard-bearer of the Dixiecrats in 1948.  If you're going to get in arms about an old South Carolina politician, Ben "Pitchfork" Tillman is a far more deserving target.  Even for his time, he was an evil racist reactionary.

I also don't get the level of hate directed towards Graham.  If he'd made social issues a priority, I could, but that's never been a focus of his unlike some Republicans.

North Carolina doesn't have a deep history of racism.

Even at the height of Jim Crow, South Carolina never managed the complete expulsion of blacks from the voter rolls like North Carolina did.  We had more notable incidents than our northern neighbor, but the idea that they were less racist is laughable.
