A quick #sundowntown search on TikTok, yields a massive amount of results—here are just a few of them.


Those results are fairy tales and third-hand rumor. There's no such thing as a "Sundown town" these days and hasn't been for decades.

From the entry for Burnsville, MS in the "Sundown Town Database" linked in article in the OP:
quote:

Burnsville had an African-American school that closed down after most of the black population moved to larger towns for better jobs, according to Jack Elliott, Jr. at the Mississippi department of archives and history.

I’ll be sure to tell the black family a few houses down from me to stop walking their dog after sundown. Poor pup will just have to scorch its paws in the summer heat.

Sounds like Lebron James wrote this. As he is being hunted by whitey.

One of the comments nailed it, something like” I’d be scared of any city run by Democrats, no matter where the sun is”

You'd think if there were towns that actively murdered black people after the sun went down... our media would report the hell out of that. Our media is desperately looking for anything to promote the oppression of black people and the evilness of white people. They've to rely on hoaxes right now because they can't find anything more serious.


Gonna go ahead and call bullshite in that shite.


Now, if you said for white people to not stay in gang dominated inner cities after the sun goes down... I'd believe it. frick. I don't recommend anyone, black, brown, white, etc.. to stay in gang dominated inner cities after the sun goes down.

Sundown Towns


Just a new thing these insufferable people learned. Just like how the whole country is in awe about juneteef, yet apparently it's been a state holiday in TX for many decades and no one cared.

Oh and I'd bet the house that whites are in way more danger after dark in way more places than blacks are.

I didn’t know there were reenactors for the Jim Crow era.

Also:

“Don’t let the sun go down on you in this town.”


That isn’t the line.

I see Krotz Springs was listed as a Louisiana Sundown town.

Listen up folks...doesn't matter what ethnic race, sex, or orientation, the fact remains the same.

You can either stop and get boudin or you can stop and get a ticket. Everyone, regardless of background, knows this rule!!

I'd recommend the boudin. Its delicious!

Note to all Jews & Muslims - use your cruise control, change lanes properly, make sure all lights and blinkers are in working order and that your tags are current.
