We moved after MTSU. High school was in an NC county that was 37% white. College nearly the same (the county, not the actual college). Army Reserves was 50/50. Worked/lived til marriage in NC/SC. Mom worked and sister still works in Marlboro county in SC. It’s 50% black. I’ve been around a lot of black people. Not many in my Pilates class, PTA mtgs, or in our rural New Jersey neighborhood these days, though.
I’ve come to realize blacks are a lot like West Virginians, where my husband is from & went to school, where we once lived full time, and still own a house, hunting cabin, and a bunch of land. Can’t lump all blacks into one category, or even two. Can’t lump all West Virginians into one or two categories either: assuming they’re all fat, feral, welfare/disability/meth addicts who’ve served time and can’t read. Even though plenty live in the county around our property. There are also plenty of hard working, really decent West Virginians, too. The decent outweigh the trash 10:1. You just wouldn’t know it by appearances sometimes.
Everyone is different and assumptions don’t usually work in the holler, or in Bennettsville, SC, til you actually get to know someone.
Maybe Tennessee is different. Probably is since I lived there.
Understand that my telling you all this isn’t to try and start a pissing match with you. I’m letting you know my experiences have been different than yours, but also probably pretty similar, and I get where you’re coming from on all this. I disagree with some of it, but that’s life.
I’m sure you’ve explained it to someone before, but I must have missed it. When you get a chance, please refresh this former resident of Murfreesboro’s memory on why you call black people “Negroes” in this day and age.
The info about Australians being vaccinated/hospitalized is wrong. Not that this will stop you from spreading misinformation. Still, it’s wrong. And I’d like to do some fact-checking the Israel numbers but I don’t speak nor can I read Hebrew.
All that aside, your link is to InfoWars, which is a highly unreliable source for anything except nonsense and hyperbole.

You tell me how many cases of smallpox, polio, tb, yellow fever we see in the United States each year after vaccination. And then you tell me WHY we have those numbers (or lack there of).
No one ever said you couldn’t catch Covid once you were vaccinated, and if they did, they’re wrong. The vaccine lowers your risk (significantly) of becoming extremely ill and/or dying from Covid.
Lol...they aren’t lost. These two know their ridiculous, ignorant comments will fly under most people’s radar or will simply be ignored. Or worse, agreed with.
