A Black truck driver shared the story of his night in Vidor, Texas, a notorious "sundown town." Sundown towns are all-white parts of the United States considered to be unsafe for Black people after dark. The term goes back to the segregation-era, but continues to describe communities that retain a wholly or predominantly white population by systemically keeping out minorities.

So irrational hate has lumped blacks into the same category as a make believe monster?
And our increasing population (again only 16% of the US population) poses a threat to a majority that has proliferated racism, imperialism, classism, genocide, etc?

Who needs this many guns. You can't carry or shoot all of them at the same time.
Like do you carry all of them on your back at once?
Or maybe he bought it for all his racist friends.

Police stopped a U-haul in Coeur d'Alene on Saturday and arrested 31 people inside who police say have ties to a hate group. Police said they planned to riot.
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Police stopped a U-haul in downtown Coeur d'Alene on Saturday afternoon and arrested 31 people who were found inside. Police said they believe the people arrested have ties to a white nationalist hate group.
"They came to riot downtown," Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said at a news conference.
Police were alerted to the group when a concerned person called police around 1:38 p.m. That person reported seeing the group loading into a U-haul that was parked at the Springhill Suites. The group had masks and shields and police said the caller told them it "looked like a little army."
Police spotted the U-haul about 10 minutes later and stopped it on Northwest Boulevard near the skate park and Paul Bunyan, not far from the area where a Coeur d'Alene Pride event was taking place. Police had stepped up their presence in the area during the event.
Police and deputies surrounded the truck and when they opened it up they found dozens of men in the back, all wearing the same clothes, including khakis, with navy blue shirts, beige hats, and a white cloth covering their faces.
Based on evidence collected at the scene and documents police found in the U-haul, Chief White said that they believe the group was planning to riot in several areas of downtown Coeur d'Alene, not just the park.
"It appears they did not come here to engage in peaceful events," Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told our partner the Coeur d'Alene Press.
Chief White said all 31 people were arrested on charges of conspiracy to riot. Those arrested came from at least 11 states, including Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia, and Arkansas.
The men are being booked into the Kootenai County Jail. They are expected to appear in court on Monday.
Before it was towed away, the back of the U-haul was filled with evidence bags from police. Still visible were what appeared to be a homemade riot shield and some protective equipment. Police said they also found at least one smoke grenade.
Police said it will take several days for them to book all the evidence.

Nouss Did you know about Greenbelt's history?
Wym? Was it on the sundown town list? That wouldn't surprise me since the list is historical.

Yea, I was initially surprised to see towns in this area on that list. PG in particular is interesting because I've never met a white person from PG but driving through the northern parts, you'll see a lot of them.
But it all makes sense now once I read the 2nd link from that post.

“I got to the point where I was just very disgusted and angry," Smith said. "I said this is it, I’m going to the County Executive next."
With help from the county, Smith ended up moving to Charlestown Village in Greenbelt, where his new chapter would begin and so would the fight he took on to help integrate schools, housing and employment in the county and beyond its border."

I’ve met a few. Had a few white coworkers who lived up the street from me. But it does seem predominantly black.

A lot of sundown towns that I'm familiar with ended up becoming white flight upper middle class areas.
Still racist to a large extent though. Just not the stereotypical type.

It's only recently that I learned that Lincoln got shot three days after he gave a speech in which he expressed support for the idea of giving some black folks the right to vote.

The most important thing any Black person can do in this country is to participate in the electoral process. Otherwise, you're nothing more than a permanent resident.

Make that 60 miles/1 hour from a major city, and you're describing every US state.

I lived there from 2016 to 2019. I mainly was in PG or Baltimore (or DC or NV).
I believe you…
Just wild.
