Geez Lee, blatantly telling us you are racist.

Just pandering to his voter base.

Ugh. This is just north of where I grew up.

This is awful but interesting and important. I'm not sure this term or information is well known. I'm not the most informed but I pick up a book or two and I probably only heard of "sundown towns" 15 years ago or so. And they were around far more recently than you might think.

The thing that strikes me is the concentration being so much higher in the upper midwest than the "deep south". Same for New England.

I wonder if it was because they didn't need signs in the south to let blacks know they weren't welcome?

I guess it would be technically correct that a place, by definition, can't be a sundown town if they're not even welcome during the day.

Too much CRT here for my tastes.

They did a good job documenting the history of sundown towns

Not surprised with that area.

Good.

How much of a scumbag do you need to be to be charged with major crimes and everyone thinks "Oh, I didn't know he did that stuff too"

Casino-style carpets, grounds don't look that great to me, I agree with Mike...

What contractor would work there, no one gets paid from that family

I guess this kinda got buried but I really thought he’d give it a rest after this mandate. Things tend to go pretty stale on PM’s in this country around year ten.

Every time I see one of their videos I cry a little more each time knowing how fucked we are as a nation.

I'm not so sure, I think these people are in the minority, but they have the largest megaphone. If you can believe the polling, people are in favor of women's right to abortion and for more gun control legislation, people are in favor of student debt forgiveness, in other words, the US as a whole are looking out for their fellow man. It speaks volumes to me that the Republicans can't seem to win the popular vote these days, if not for the antiquated Library of Congress and gerrymandering, they wouldn't win much of anything. What policies are Republicans putting forward these days to better the lives of Americans, all they seem to be focused on are culture wars.

Slowly but surely, I think people are starting to get the message.
