I don't live in a city, I live in a town. Orangeburg, South Carolina. Majority black town with a sizeable white population but not even close to approaching majority.
Race relations are fine. White people and black people get along well. Everyone provides the other with that iconic southern American hospitality and what not. Of course, as statistically, most Black people are Democrats, the town was dominated with Biden/Harris signs came election time but it never resulted in some Portland, Oregon type shit where some unhinged communist starts fucking with someone elses property.
Lately, I've come to realize that I've fallen into the trap of seeing some shit in the news which happens in some shit hole city and saying to myself "This is the whole country." It's a stupid line of thinking and now that I'm being more aware of that idiocy, my mental health is improving.
The grocery near me in Vancouver has these new tags for "Black owned business" - I've deliberately avoided buying those products.
Not because I don't want to buy something from black owned businesses. But I don't want to play that stupid game.
There is a family run mobile coffee van that's all black except one person by marriage, best coffee in town and they've never played the stupid race game.
Much better than the media makes them out to be.
There are two Filipino families in the town I live in. Nobody cares.
Ive met old women that can beat up most somalis

Lol I just read the sub and looks like they're censoring people for posting anti-mask/anti-covid stuff now.
Damn, maybe I should have gone to school there. I got in.
That is a bit ironic.
