Be an advanced, developed nation

The south is not remotely an advanced, developed nation.

It's like if you took Brussels, then glued the worst bits of Somalia to it.

We had to fight a war to get them to stop keeping black people as pets, and they just kept doing it anyway.

Hitler wrote of the south specifically as an inspiration for German genetic policies (Jim Crow) in Mein Kampf. Black GIs came home from killing nazis to be lynched from trees.
