    I live in one of the worst corners of a well known tennessee sundown town and the few blacks that have moved in havent had any issues at all. No one has even said a bad word about them.

    Times have changed. The white meth heads still shoot each other and burn houses but theyre too stoned or lazy to make any crosses. I suspect youll be fine.

    Just do your thing and keep your head up. Give people the nod when they look, and keep doing what your doing.

    What a miserable existence. One I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Maybe because my older brother OD’d in 1984. Miss him still.

    For the most part you are pretty safe most all places in the country. The odds are you will park and pass the night uneventful. I don't really know of any dangerous places in Texas. Unless you count getting addicted to some #### good barbeque and eating yourself to death.

    until the 1990's. you must not have been threw dyersburg, tn by mo. theres alot of citys and towns that still dont like blacks. but the worst part is loading in laredo at one of those mexican shippers. you want to talk about not getting loaded because of your color
