I completely feel for your black conservative friend, but he’s intentionally putting himself and his family at potential risk by succumbing to his wife’s ill-advised wish to remain in the black community.
As for me and mine, we just recently moved into the DFW metro area from a more sparsely populated, rural area. My wife and I are well aware of the potential risks, but we had to relocate for business reasons. We’re hoping to get the heck outta here in another year or so, after doing what we need to do.
I’m just crossing my fingers that our nation’s cultural fabric (frayed as it is) holds until we can get back to the country.
In the meantime, I plan to make as many close acquaintances of local Tea Party members as possible, so that I have some sort of network to fall back on.
Thank you for your thoughts.
That's a pretty good plan. I hope you're able to get out of the city soon. A friend of mine lives in Dallas; I'm concerned for him and his family on a daily basis.
