Curt Ford, a St. Louis Cardinals outfielder from 1985-1988, was the victim in an alleged racially motivated attack Wednesday at a St. Louis-area gas station. Ford was punched in the face and, according to police, was told by his attacker: "Go back to Ferguson you (racial slur)."



The attack happened at a Petro Mart gas station in Fenton, Mo., about 28 miles from Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb that was the epicenter of protests and racial turmoil after Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer there last August.

St. Louis keeps on showing why they are the hidden jewel of racism over the past 6-7 months after Ferguson

Indiana and Missouri has always had pockets of racist towns. Don't be fooled. Outside of the major cities in the Northern and Midwest states you will find more racism then in the south.

It's white folks in some states that have never physically been in the presence of a black person.
