I hate qualifying my screeds about race but since I’m such a sweetie I will

I’m a Deep South man raised in black culture as much as white plus I have African and Haitian and Jamaican experience extensively

In my home state of Mississippi

Yeah that one

There are black counties in the delta squashed by the agribusiness of Bunge and ADM and Cargill etc that are poor AF but have rather low crime rates and the more affluent employing whites live safely on plantations and farms etc and private schools they call academies

Different kind of black many still believe and fear the lord even if they get rowdy on weekends and don’t marry much

Or memories of night riders keeping order lingers 70 years later

They are not as a rule hostile or as violent

I have been known to wander alone on a Friday night into a sea of 100s of them and treated warmly

So there you are

I’m sure the rural black belt of South Georgia has similar areas

You got me singing the Sunflower River Blues.

I believe that. Rural people are like that.
