@zhivi

I live in Richmond, VA. We have some towns with that history. One particular area south of the city (it may not have been one by definition, I would have to refresh myself) called Colonial Heights was once colloquially known as "Colonial Whites" and saw vigiantilism to defend it in that way.

@Oli_Son thanks for sharing. According to the website. We have them in NC.

@zhivi @Oli_Son We have them here in Illinois too unfortunately. One town in this area still has their sundown law on the books. While they don’t enforce it, they don’t remove it either and that speaks volumes about their racism. I hate it here but my family is here and I need their help now that I’m getting up in years. I miss my home in Michigan.
