I also drove my car over to the coast to work, on various routes through towns like San Joaquin, Mendota, and Firebaugh. And near my home I have been driving, shopping, and touring by intent the rather segregated and impoverished areas of Caruthers, Fowler, Laton, Orange Cove, Parlier, and Selma.

But many here insist there is no segregation outside the South...shucks...Vic, you done gone and ruined it for me.

Sad California...you were my dream as a lad in Leave it to Beaver land....all the cool people, blonde girls, surfing, scenery, San Fran, mountians, Death Valley Days...ya'll had it all.....I am truly sorry

But don't fret...they are ruining here too as fast as they can...turning little minds into mush with the same guilt that paved the way to kill your once grand way of life.

VDH (author) is late to the party here, just like he was to realize the surroundings at his farmhouse. It's a sad observation he writes of, but it's been happening to CA since the 70s. Nothing new (except to him). He also acts like he's surprised to see segregation there, probably thought it was limited to the "dirty deep south" like all the other RINOs.

Guys like him are really clueless on worldy matters - they're not out there working and living near the brothers, latinos, and all the other races. He can't begin to understand the dynamic of different races living and working next to each other like we've done in the South for years. Almost like he's had blinders on for the last 20-30 years - he didn't see the changes in his neighborhood or his school campus? strikes me as odd.

The "holier than thou" types that rule CA ought to reflect on their policies and see what they've created. Maybe they didn't know better than the Southern "hicks" they make fun of in all their movies.
