[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, we assume nothing.

Our “lived experiences” have informed our decision to live and travel elsewhere.

You do you boo. I choose to live far away from density, subsidized housing, weed odors from neighbors, and mentally unstable hobos outside of my door.

To each their own.

Wow that’s quite an inaccurate picture.

You do know that drug use and OD rates are higher in rural populations, right? [/quote]
Rural areas are much safer. Most American cities have large neighborhoods that are "sundown towns" where no one is willing to step into after dark, no matter how liberal and anti-Maga they are on the internet. [/quote]

Hahahaha. I've lived in both, and I don't think you know what a "sundown town" is. Almost every small town in the rural mountains parts of the South is a "sundown town" where black people are supposed to be out of town by sundown or face the consequences.

You must be from another country or don't know any US history because your school didn't teach it.

Anyhow, I've lived in some rural southern towns (that's weren't sundown towns in the mountains) and you really don't want to go the local Wal Mart after 10pm, as I found out the hard way. Rural doesn't always mean safe, particularly if you are a woman.

The local drug stores have everything locked up in rural areas too. And usually there are a whole bunch of meth heads. Which is why Fox News viewers think urban areas much be ten times worse. [/quote]
Yes, I'm intentionally using and inverting the term "sundown town" to parody you. I've lived in the rural south too.  Rural sundown towns don't exist anymore, a black woman has a very low chance of robbed at gunpoint or raped in a southern hick town.

But a woman has a significant chance to run into mischief in East St. Louis or West Baltimore or parts of Chicago. So which is the *real* sundown town?  Use your critical thinking skills to answer my question-- don't just regurgitate your school propaganda![/quote]
DP and NP. I am a Black woman and beg to differ. Roughly eight years ago as my DH and I  drove from NO back to Alexandria, VA we made a pit stop in a Walmart in Mississippi. DH had a thing with acquiring ammo and Walmart was a good place to get it cheap. As I roamed casually roamed the store while DH compared ammo prices, two white men walked up to me and said “my you’re tall for a woman (I’m 5’8 1/2”), what brings you here. You’re not from these parts are you. Don’t know where you at”.  It was definitely an eerie and uncomfortable feeling going through my veins and I made my way to the ammo section in the store. This exchanged occurred in broad daylight in a mega store. I would hate how that conversation would have ended after the sun went down. I never had that experience or feeling in broad daylight Baltimore or Chicago. I’ve never been to st Louis, so I can’t say one way or the other. [/quote]
