Societies where black and whites live together like Southern USA, Cuba, Brazil, PR, South Africa are so chaotic and interesting. All those places have a lot of sad and cool estories to tell.

I work at an elementary school in the American South and it’s like 80 percent black. There are a lot of Hispanic students there as well. Every day is so full of interesting things

I was raised in and still live in northeast Alabama (near the Georgia state-line), in an area with about an equal number of Blacks and Whites, with a growing population of Mexicans and Central Americans. Despite the racial history, the social divisions between races down here are much less than in the same North that likes to think they're "better" than us "backward" Southerners. We have many of the same foods, the same attitudes and even ways of speaking down here, which is contrary to the stark differences up North. I've never been to Brazil, but the social classes not being easily being rigid along racial lines definitely reminds me of the Southeast U.S. I've also been throughout Georgia and South Carolina, and its much the same in those two states as well.

The North is better than the US South. Always has been and always will be. The West is better than both of them.

Its a matter of personal taste and preference, as well as in what way. I have been to Southern California (where my parents moved from), so I definitely agree with you that its the best (or the West generally). I have Midwest roots (Missouri/Kansas), so the Midwest and Great Lakes states are the extent of what "North" I know personally; I've never been to the Northeast.

Very true, although their lifestyle down there is different than up here in some other ways. We're more mountains and the piedmont up here, much like North Georgia is also different from South Georgia. Both South Georgia and South Alabama are very similar to the Florida Panhandle, aka the Redneck Riviera.
