re: Black FedEx driver discusses “sundown” towns she can’t deliver to due white violence

What about the blacks in New Orleans who firmly believe that where they lived the white man caused the flooding by running their outdoor hoses all night? About six years ago I went into a fast food place. The black lady took my order and I received what I ordered. The lady asked me where I was from because of my accent. I told her that I'm a New Orleans native but I grew up in Baton Rouge. While I was eating my lunch I heard what she said to another coworker. She told her coworker that the real reason why so many blacks died because of Katrina was because a white guy blew up part of the levee because New Orleans wanted a lot of blacks to leave New Orleans for good. While I was leaving I told her that I heard her conversation and I asked what type of person would want to kill thousands of innocent people. She told me that the person who blew up the levee was offered over two million dollars to blow it up. She told me that the white man who did it was going to be paid after the threat of the hurricane. I left but I wanted to ask her what person would do the deed knowing he would get over two million dollars but what good is the money if he dies? Some people believe stupid things and you can't change their minds. I remember seeing a green hose that was on in the paper. They actually believe that all the white people had their garden hoses on and flooded the city.

Fed Ex lady drivers like coming to Ruston. The FedEx lady, that delivers to my 93 & 89 year old parents, knows they can't pick up heavy packages. When she has a heavy one she knocks on the door and sits it down wherever they want it in the house. They appreciate her and give her a Christmas card with a tip every year.
I had a self propelled mower sent from Sam's, and was there a couple of days before it was supposed to arrive.She delivered some household stuff while I was there, so I thanked her for being so nice to my parents, showed her where I wanted her to put it in the garage, and gave her $20 She is black, like this other lady in the tweet, but were try to be civil to each other around here.
The neighborhood in Dallas where I lived thru 2010 was the Vickory Meadows area they have been trying to gentrify for a decade. When I lived in one of those condos built in the 80's in a "Singles Only" zone near the infamous Village Apartments.It was the place where single out of state college grad moved. Prices were as high as any place not named Highland Park, University Park,Addison a few few more suburbs, to keep the rif raf out. Nothing but one and two bedroom apartments and condos for miles. Friday mixers at the pool or lobby weekly. Yearly splash days at every complex that turned into topless contest.
A couple of years into this decadent lifestyle, the US Supreme Court rules "Singles Only" was not fair to people with kids. Over the next three decades, it turned into the most dangerous neighborhood in the Dallas City limits. By the time I left it was mostly immigrants. A heavy dose of Illegals from Mexico , Africans and at the end, Eastern Europeans. American citizens of all races had mostly left, In Texas, immediate family can live four to a one bedroom apartment, so it was perfect for desperate people. Pimps, hookers and thieves from Oak Cliff drove up to work every night. When Oak Cliff folks couldn't afford to live in Oak Cliff, they moved there. People in the apartment complexes got shot and then robbed by crack heads nearly every day. During the last four or five years I lived there, Domino's quit taking checks, then stopped delivering there. Wonder if Fed Ex still went there?

This is the biggest bag of horseshite I've seen all day. If these "sundown towns" still existed, the major news outlets would be hitting them day and night in order to pander to those who live in a victimhood mentality.
The only issue likely going on in that Walmart was that she was the only black person there, so she felt uncomfortable (making her hyper-aware) on her own (ie: with no assistance from anyone there).

That map is filled with likely towns but if you click on the individual areas many of them say “possibly” under past and “not likely” or even “surely not” for the present
But the map (possibly intentionally) presents it as if there’s still a ton of sun down towns everywhere with all those red dots even though it’s own labels say most of them aren’t anymore

FedEx should find her a route in an all black neighborhood where she feels safe. I imagine every white FedEx driver and probably a few minority ones in the area would happily trade routes with her.

Texarkana
Greenville, Texas
Huntsville, Arkansas
But this was 50/60 years ago or longer. Today, BS! More likely plenty of neighborhoods white Fed-Ex drivers don’t want to go!

quote:They would do like a Mexican American Dallas City Councilman did in the 80's. He would walk around in Highland Park until they stopped and asked him why he was there. He did it 10 or 12 times and got the cops riled up by not answering their questions and asking them why it was their business. I think The Observer had someone follow him and report about what was said a few times. They wrote a big article about the city councilman and I think I remember them printed it while the suit was starting. If cell phones had been around, I'm sure he'd of had someone videoing it all. Anyway, he was part of a successful multi-million dollar suit against the City's police department.

I could have been part of it . One day a black lady at work rode with me to lunch. I drove back thru Highland Park to show her a couple of my favorite houses. We got stopped and asked why were were there. Coming back from a lunch at an Oak Lawn. location was a good enough answer that day.
Like the white boy I am, I asked her, "Why do you think they stopped us?"
She blurted out, "Because I'm in the car dummy."
They really did stop us because of her being a minority. It was a little like when I first moved to Farmerville with long hair in 1975. School hadn't started and I'd just moved there from a town in Mississippi where they didn't have hair length rules..The cop wanted to search my car. I let him. I was 15 years old and had never smoked pot because of sports. I waited until I became a non-sports playing college student, when my LSU gymnast roommate took me with him to his two time national champion teammate's room in Kirby Hall & sold him some pot.

FX should be called out for her racism, and asked how they would handle a White driver putting something out like this about ghetto cities.

FedEx on Coursey Blvd can’t even scan a box in that already has a label on it already. Guess BR is one of those sundown towns too

I had dinner in Vidor two weeks ago and there were several black people in the restaurant…at night. They didn’t look distressed and I didn’t notice anyone giving them shite. Now, which one of you YT’s wants to volunteer to shop at Peggy’s in Lake Charles at night? Eff all that noise.

This story seems highly implausible. There is no way white suburban sundown towns (and seriously, name one) prevent a black Amazon driver from making deliveries.
Just another ridiculous racial identity lie.

Yea because our news feeds are inundated with black Delivery drivers getting attacked by white people after dark in American towns. Everyone knows this would be the lead stories on all networks if it were true.
