OK. Our experience has been that people have their preconceived ideas on both sides. The majority of the people that we interact with here in the US are white and of course they want us to side with their view. It's a completely plausible view but good fricking damn it makes me gag when we have to listen over and over as to why we should believe one side of the story and not the other.

Can you explain a specific issue? I’m genuinely asking. I’m not going to shite on your head.

This is so vague that I don’t even know what to make of it.

What's the move for relatively sane, normal people? Move to a majority white, conservative state? Ie: Montana/Wyoming?

1. Move to the midwest
2. Do NOT move to a major city. Move to a smaller city or rural area
3. Carry

I live in Wichita, KS. I don't actually carry but my wife does. It's pretty level-headed over here. I have absolutely no fear about going out shopping, drinking, etc. and getting jumped. Get away from major cities and you'll be fine.

Downtown Houston last year after the Nutcracker. We went for snacks and drinks after. I went to the bathroom while my wife ordered for us. We were dressed immaculately. My wife tried to order our drinks while I was in the restroom. I watched with my own eyes the waiter meet eyes with her and walk right past her without a single fake acknowledgement that she was there. Same waiter came and took our order from me.

I would have never believed something like that could happen but it slapped me right in the face that night. My wife is extremely classy and always well dressed. It was completely inappropriate and it was very much a white guy not wanting to wait on a black woman.

Is that it? I thought you said the MAGA types were a problem? Instead you give a lame story about being ignored by a waiter. I've got news for you, this sort of shite happens occasionally when you're in an interracial relationship. Let it slide or let it eat at you, your choice.

Agreed. Mean tweets are just as bad as destructive as intersectionality, critical race theory, and cancel culture.

Both equally intolerable.

Ha, I made the move to Montana from New Orleans 35 years ago and never looked back. Still love my Tigers, though - LSU grad, 1977.

Maybe I had to be there, but this doesn’t come off as blatant racism.

A specific experience was asked and I gave it. Nothing anyone could say or do to us will ever be worse than losing our son.

can't answer that without the possibility of being banned. I will only say that the MAGA bunch has been the absolute worst.

Hordes of liberals are in the streets rioting, looting, tearing things down, vandalizing monuments, trying to defund police, acting as thought police, and the list goes on. But MAGA people are bothering you.
