I know what Sun Down towns are, no offense but you aren’t teaching me anything. My text in the OP is more reflective of the unapologetic professing of their segragative stance. It’s been covertly done since public conseus changed about overt racism. The precedence of the past makes most Whites feel as if the label of racist doesn’t apply to them because they’re markedly different from the Klan as it relates to demeanor. The majority of them aren’t as reticent to reveal their unadulterated sentiments and beliefs publicly. As if open bigotry is the most nefarious form of ethnic-based discrimination and not the oppressive structural one, that all of them bolster tacitly and/or directly.
What you are seeing is a spotlight on it. They were always unapologetically showing their stance, if you actually came across them. Now, the media is focused on it is all. Nothing has changed, this has always been the case, and getting up in arms about it will not change what they are doing.
So there is no surprise in this, this will continue to happen, no new generation is going to change it, and the old ones dying off will just be replaced with new ones who follow the same beliefs. Keeping an eye on their actions is fine. Allowing their actions to consume our thoughts is not. If they do decide to get active and run up in our areas, then be ready with weapons and be willing to harm them in return.
Oh, and here is a the real kicker that you may not have noticed. This spotlight on these type of communities has been happening periodically since there has been a news media. This idea that they are just now being open has been bandied about over and over again throughout my 55 years on this planet. Nothing about this is new.
