      1. This is wrong in ways that are worth more than my earlier glib tweet. Rally took place in Virginia but it drew racists from all over USA https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/896738080027226112 …

      2. One of the racists at the rally came from faraway Nevada: it was a national rally, not a Southern onehttps://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/896717741763305472 …

      3. What is the South? The alleged killer James Alex Fields Jr. came from Ohio, born in Kentucky.

      4. What is the South? Kentucky is arguably South -- although in Civil War it was a border state & didn't join the Confederacy.

      4. What is the South? If you wanted to stretch it, parts of Ohio are definitely cultural "south"https://twitter.com/stphnmaher/status/896743030442659840 …

      I think southern Ohio is culturally kind of part of the South.

      5. What is the South? The 1920s Klan flourish in Indiana, Maine and Canadian provinces like Saskatchewanhttps://twitter.com/jacremes/status/896747139749040128 …

      Never mind that the whole premise of Garland's tweet was wrong. The largest 1920s Klan chapter was in Maine. (See http://www.umass.edu/umpress/title/not-catholic-nation ….)

      6. What is the South? I've seen the confederate flag in northern Ontario (in Thunder Bay).

      7. States of old confederacy have a particular history & legacy which they are grappling with. But white nationalism is a global phenomenon

      8. As Du Bois said, the color line grids the globe. New racism we're seeing is very international, with places like Virginia as flashpoints

          It is easy for people to say, "Oh, that's the South" & dismiss the widespread threat that exists across America. It's hard stuff to digest.
