I imagine there are videos on the social webs that show white people attacking a black fedex driver and looting her truck. I do know I have seen the other race doing that.

Every morning FedEx has to go pick up trucks in Livingston Parish where the drivers just disappeared during the night!

All that map really shows are towns with low percentages of Black residents according to the census, or towns that were sundowns in the 60's and 70's. Which is why the majority are not in the South, but rather the midwest and coasts.

despite what the commies on the east and west coast say, there is MUCH less racial division in the south.

Was the town that hated sundown because there was a serial killer on the loose.

White on black violence is literally nothing compared to black on white

That map is hilarious. They just labeled a bunch of areas with low black population as "probable/maybe".

Someone needs to make an inverse map of areas with high black Populations and call it a crime travel advisory map!

Yesterday i had my extremely caucasian us mail person, probably rural package delivery, honk and not get out of their vehicle, balls deep in my property. He couldn't find my neighbor's house behind me, but knew how uninviting most of us are in bfe. I appreciated their tact.

well, it isn't exactly wrong but it aint white violence.

You dont deliver to Kansas City, KS or St Louis, MO after sundown. Probably the same for Wichita KS.

If she is in Walker county Alabama she has some valid points.


There are still areas of North Georgia where they'd be valid as well. Lots of areas in the PNW it would be valid. There ain't any signs at the city limits (I am 59 this August and I saw them in North Georgia when I was a kid) but the sentiment is still there. It would be as asinine to suggest that there is no where in the US where black folks would not be safe as it is to suggest there is no place where white folks would not be safe.

I live in Memphis, and FedEx trucks are ransacked here all the time. Same for UPS, Amazon, railcars etc. Last night, a Nike truck was ransacked and driver robbed at gunpoint while attempting to deliver to Nike's distribution center. I know what the perps in these robberies look like. However, they have evolved and appear to be post-racial, and rob and shoot drivers all of races, ages and religions. A DEI masterclass

That map posted earlier in the thread is a complete joke. I found a couple os spots on the map that may be correct……..if you’re white.

Sundown towns are an anachronistic bogeyman much like the KKK. In the past, sure they existed, but they are toothless and damn near extinct in modern America


Fredo On TV is a great YouTube channel. Black dude from Jackson who ran track at Rogers State. He does short reaction videos.

One of the funniest was his response to a Tiktok video where they said Jackson is a sundown town. He explained what a sundown town is and pointed out that Jackson MIGHT be a sundown town for white people but that implies it's safe for anyone.

The narrative is Black Folks, not White Folks and no matter how hard certain people try it doesn’t change the facts. It wasn’t just happenstance a video like that comes out and goes viral with an election coming in less than 5 months. Same shite, different day. The South, Northeast, Midwest, and the West coast, outside of cities aren’t the same. It’s easy to look down on people that live in places around the country that some people would never go. Those same people live in a damn suburban utopia and don’t know a damn thing about how Millions of people live and let live every damn day. No problems, no made up BS, just most people trying to live the best life possible.
