    Here’s what I don’t get… town is 85% black and only has 275 people.

    That means a 234 to 41 split black to white. 5.7:1 ratio.

    If those 41 people really are that racist and regressive, you haul them all out of their homes, tar and feather them, and ride them out of town on a rail.

      This. Violence is not the answer.

      Until it is. Violence sometimes only can be corrected with violence.

      I suspect (based on nothing, really) that most white people in this country are not racist. It’s the tiny pockets of diarrhea like this town that are disproportionately racist, and have disproportionate representation in national politics.

      I wonder if WFH could change this, as liberal white people from places like California start moving to different states, and begin to turn them blue. Or maybe I’m being too optimistic?
