Yeah I just watched it. You guys are way ahead of us, I’ll try cities only has three cities. Apparently we feel hemmed in by the name.

About what you and they were saying about blacks not being welcome, my husband went on a couple interviews in the Deep south, Alabama and Mississippi. One of them, the power plant was in a predominantly black town. He was told that he wouldn’t want to live there, he would want to move over to the white town and commute in. Apparently things are still quite divided there. The houses in the predominantly black town were quite a bit cheaper. I don’t know if we lived there if we would have had troubles, but he ended up not taking the job anyway.

Well we only had 3 cities until an area west of Richland started building up and then incorporated into a city a few years ago.

My daughter and SIL went to Calif a few years ago and on the way home she had to go to the bathroom REAL BAD so they pulled off the freeway into a gas station in Oakland. Predominantly Black area. She jumped out of the car ran to the bathroom and it was locked. She dashed to the front asked for the keys and the Black guy asked her, “Do you know where you are”? She said; “Yes, Oakland” He said; “You don’t want to go in there.” “WHY?” He said; Because they shoot up in there and killings happen in there.” “You best be leaving here.”
