Today I went to buy my sons cat some food from the center of town, my card gets declined, slide the food to side and say I'll be back. Walk to the bank across the street to sort it out, come back and I get called in. The lady behind the counter tells me one of the gentlemen that was in line paid for the cans and not to worry about it. I ask her who it was and she tells me 'it was the dark skinned fellow.' I live in a majority white area and I ask what's poals take on this. Was it pressure from being surrounded by white people to do the white thing? Was he trying to get in the overweight white woman behind the counters pants? Or are they capable of humanity and compassion?

A friend of mine from Longview jokes that the Klan out there have their own Negro auxiliary.

Lol haven't heard that.

I actually live in a redneck town that occasionally has KKK demonstrations, they're watched by numerous state troopers when they do.

A klan town north of me is Vidor, TX.

>Vidor has a reputation as a "sundown town," where African Americans are not allowed after sunset.[5][6] It is considered a haven for the Ku Klux Klan.[7] In 1993, after a William Wayne Justice ordered that 36 counties in East Texas, including Vidor, desegregate public housing by making some units available for minorities, the Klan from Cleveland, Texas, held a march in the community after a long legal battle was lost by Vidor's leaders. Church leaders held a well attended prayer rally in opposition to the KKK hatred.[8][9][10] After several minority families moved into the complex, the residents suffered racial threats including a bomb threat to the complex. Several families moved out under this pressure. One of the residents, Bill Simpson, moved out due to racial epithets. He was killed in nearby Beaumont, shortly after moving out of the complex.[11] During the summer of 2020, Black Lives Matter held a rally in Vidor that was attended by a diverse crowd of 150—200 people.[5][12]
