What is the most racist city or town you have ever been in?

My parents told me this story. Back in 1984 when we were moving from Houston to Chicago, we stopped for gas at a town in Arkansas. As we were about to leave, a local sheriff came up to us and talked to my parents for a couple of minutes, and then recommended that we leave by the time the sun went down, for our own safety. In fact, it was probably best if we just got back on the highway right away.

This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite movies: "In The Heat Of The Night."

If you haven't seen it and wish to, you can find it here:

@PhoenixPhail Great flick. I brought it with me when I had a sleep test a while back. I was hooked to a million wires and couldn't move. The movie had a million n words in it and the guy in the next room was black.

Serous cringe 😮
