It’s enough to make you want to move to some small town, far from the big city. It’s enough to want to make you move very far away from where they plant the section 8 residents.

I can assure you that at least in Texas, that’s exactly what’s happening. The MSM doesn’t report on it because they don’t want to let the cat out the bag.

I live outside one of those tiny towns, as well as several smaller villages.

What happens here is *halfway houses* and social workers intentionally send urban welfare cases here, as well.

The new residents don’t fit in. The locals who adopted black babies raised rural kids who happen to be black. There is zero commonality between the transplanted blacks and the local black kids. The transplants last a while, then leave. Once in a blue moon, we get a young black couple who maybe wanted a farm or just wanted a rural getaway. Loneliness gets to them and they sell out rather soon.

It is just culture shock on both sides and even the best intentioned locals who attempt to be welcoming don’t seem to succeed at it.
