We were in Gatlinburg in October and we sat on a bench and watched people. Not one black. I told my daughter I didn’t understand why there were no blacks visiting.
We were in Myrtle Beach in June and a lot of black people vacation there. I guess they don’t like the mountains.
We live in TN and have spent a lot of time in the Smokies
over the past 50 years. EVERYONE is friendly up there and
I would doubt very much if ANYONE up there, even white
visitors have ever snubbed blacks. - The weather is for the
most part pleasant. NO business people or craftsmen there
would be so stupid as to consciously insult a black person;
certainly not the Cherokee who live there (descendants of
the early Cherokee who hid out during the “removal” by
the government). All I can figure is that blacks have a
dislike of TREES and MOUNTAINS sort of like the Jihadists
who don’t like those of us Tennesseans who are more like
JED CLAMPETT than we are OBAMA.
