    I escaped Tennessee.

    All I can say is: It gets better.

    Get out as fast as you can, nobody deserves to have to live in the south.

    Beautiful states with the absolutely most ugly people.

      Facts. I transplanted here from Iowa in 2011. Everything was great until 2016 when the racist overtones really came to a head. My wife is a born Texan and she is liking the idea of moving to Colorado for more than the lack of of racism we see here.

      I live in east Texas and the racism here is so prominent by all colors that it’s no longer appealing.

        Highly recommend Colorado, it’s beautiful and the people are good too.

        We just let the south stay the same after the civil war, that’s our mistake.

          It took my pacifistic ass years to see the truth of that.

          When you take down a regime that bases itself on such anti-social behavior as chattel slavery, you really need to end it as completely as a termite infestation. Just one of them able to come into power again is all it takes to roll everything back.

          Every single person involved should have faced federal prosecution, permanently lost their right to vote, and the states on a probationary “no vote” federal oversight where the government re-educated the idea of black property out of their fool heads before the they could be treated as states again.
