“Terrible town, Durham. Corrupt and stupid in every department.”
I’m from NC. I can assure you that Durham is the armpit of the Triangle. Huge crime, plenty of drugs, some gangs thrown in for good measure, and horrible local leadership who play off of a poorly educated black community to get elected. The race card is common in Durham.
White university students better learn from this experience. If they are smart, tell incoming classes to shun the town. In other words don’t go there, don’t patronize their businesses, donate to their charities, etc, etc, completely isolate the town. Anything in Durham is off limits. Students from Durham are off limits in study groups, grapevine info on upcoming tests, exams and etc.
Are you sure you aren’t describing most towns in NJ??
