I read some post on Twitter from a lady who was happy that Gatlinburg was burning because it is "99% White".
I just can't understand people who are so consumed with hatred for people they don't even know, people who were my neighbors and are my friends.
It’s unbelievable the attitude of some people who live in this country today...I would’ve never expected anything like this...
Did you remind the Twit of the 4 blacks from Knoxville that raped, tortured and killed the white couple a few years ago?
The point is that blacks just do not seem to WANT to do the
“vacation” thing. We started going to the Smokies over 50
yrs. ago; saw zero black people & NOT because there were any
signs banning them either. THAT hasn’t changed; and we can’t
force them to enjoy the mountains if they don’t wish to go
there. Their loss. The houses there are largely modest to
average. We have rented cabins & chalets; now we stay in
a motel in Townsend near the “Loop” where early settlers
lived at one time. Townsend is more affordable. Up until
just a few years ago, the same elderly lady made lots of
homemade biscuits every day for breakfast at a local diner
where the locals generally have breakfast.
The drive is too hard on us now.:o(
85%, per US Census Bureau.
But, 9% claim “some other race.”
Nearly all of those are Hispanic/Latino.
2% “two or more races” - most of those white plus something else.
2% Asian Indian, nearly 1% all other Asian.
0.6% Black, 0.4% American Indian.
