    Fun fact: the origin of homeowners associations started in sundown towns as a means to keep black people from moving into the neighbourhood.

      That makes a lot of sense. I live in a neighborhood that has an HOA but, when We 1st wanted to buy this house, they required us to pay off several rental properties that We have. They were hoping we would not be able to pay those off but, we paid those off so they had to Shut Up while we moved in here.

    When I was in the US Army stationed at Fort Hood Texas, I had a friend named Caldwell who was black and from Florida. He was going on leave and I warned him about stopping for gas in East Texas because there are still hundreds of small Sundown towns which still exists today. Unfortunately he didn't listen to me and stopped in one of those little towns for gas and later told me that everybody in the gas station stopped when he started to pump gas and stared right at him. He looked perplexed and stared into the KKK brand in the gas pump! I think he told me he pumped $5 of gas to get to a larger town! He did not stop until he reached Florida! I was born and raised in Texas so I know all about the history and its people, like the fact that many white Texans still laugh about not telling black people they were free for about 6 months after the emancipation proclamation.

      That’s crazy. I live in Houston and my family has been here since the 90s or late 80s…I heard of sundown towns but I honestly thought it was in the middle of nowhere like random ass places you would see on google maps. I remember visiting my sister’s home in Splendora and telling my boyfriend about it during the car trip. He said to just be careful and to not go cleaveland or anything past there at night. Which was kinda confusing since on google maps there’s literally a Mexican restaurant.

      @@fleurviolette1257 Ummm we are NOT exaggerating. This is unfortunately a very real reality for those of us who are black or in my case biracial. Whether you are full black, white and black (white passing) or black and white (black passing). Sundown towns still exist and the brutal racism here in the states still exists to this day. It is NOT an exaggeration. So please don’t talk about stuff you have no idea about. Certain areas in the states are dangerous for non-whites. As someone else pointed out here just because it’s 2024 doesn’t mean things have “changed”. I’ve experienced first hand racism and not the “muted” kind either, as I’ll put it. The type where you will be lynched. Lynchings may not be by hanging from a tree anymore. But they are still happening. This time more often than not it’s by the barrel of a gun, among other violence. Such as police brutality and kneeling on the backs of necks. So if you’ve never been here, much less lived here. Please don’t talk about stuff you have no personal experience with and say that it’s an “exaggeration”. Because it’s sadly not. I’m white passing and almost got killed for being a “half-breed “Ni****”. So don’t go thinking either that if someone is white passing means that they are safe. To white supremacists it doesn’t matter to them whether your skin is white or black. If you have even a tiny bit of black in you. Even if it’s just a minuscule amount….to them you are full black and if you are not careful they will, if given the chance….they will kill you.

I apologize if I came off that way. 🙁
      It’s just that mindset is dangerous, even for us Americans. We tend to forget that 50 to 70 years ago. Hell even 100 years ago really truly isn’t that long ago. If you want to learn more I suggest you to look up the tragedy of Emmett Till. I’ll add a caution , if you choose to look his story up it is NOT for the faint of heart at all. Another prominent example would be the Tulsa Oklahoma Greenwood Terror attack committed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1921. Where out of jealousy and hatred the Ku Klux Klan completely destroyed what was known as “Black Wall Street”. There’s actually video of the aftermath and it’s a very sobering reminder that history isn’t that far away. I also recommend listening to the song called “Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday. It encapsulates the terror of the segregationist south back in the 1930’s to 1940’s. 😣😣

    I'm 63. I graduated from college in 1983. I went to college on the "Main Line" outside Philadelphia. A retiring white professor at the college said that when she first came to the college back in the 1940s, there were no black students and that blacks were not even permitted to live in that town. We later discovered that there had been a black student sometime around the 1930s or 1940s who was forced to live in another neighboring town because she was not permitted to live in the dorms nor was she permitted to live in the town. Sundown towns also caused the creation of other nearby black towns whose residents served as a source of menial laborers for jobs such as maids, cooks, janitors, etc. At my college, there was a nearby town such as this. That is where most of the cleaning staff lived who were black because the commute from Philadelphia would have been too far to come each day. I was shocked when I went to graduate school at a university in Michigan to find that black people at one point were not permitted to live in the dorms there either. They had to seek lodgings in homes in that area, hence the development of a black section of that town.

    Well, the only disagreement is the statement that sundown towns mainly existed in the early 1900s. That’s where I disagree as the practice of sundown towns in Southern California definitely existed in the late 1970s through the 1980s in places like Marina del Rey, Culver City, Torrance, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, most cities in Orange County and places like Glendale, Eagle Rock and Pasadena just to name a few, even Beverly Hills. by that I mean that after sundown a black motorist was typically stopped and harassed in these areas for no cause.

    The term "woke" is used by the intolerant to describe diversity they dont like. Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights.

    Believe me, they still exist today. In 1991 I was driving from SC back to NY. It was approximately 8:45-9:00 pm. I took a wrong exit off 95 and found myself in a sundown town (which at the time I didn't know even existed.) Sparing the particulars I promptly turned around and driving about 100-130 mph back to 95 and resumed my journey home. I stopped at the first LIT rest area where there were food courts and a gas station and contemplated the realization of what had almost happened to me. Sweating profusely and sitting in my car ironically it was a white couple that inquired about me. Initially Fearful they actually comforted me. They restored some of my faith in human nature and kindness. I don't remember what exit but this is just just my tail of thier existence.

    The US went out of its way to exclude most Black citizens from benefitting in the US. And the US government was allowing it to happen. What everyone should be asking is why the US did not keep the exact same energy when it came to taxes and warfare. It's not like the US government ever said "we don't your tax money," or "we don't want you fighting for or with us." And that is the real basis for reparations for Black citizens.. If Black folks would wise up and cut out joining the military, stop the lust after luxury goods like BMW and Mercedes, etc. (They are not helping Black citizens) and limit our spending with national companies and spend more with Black businesses and in the communities, a lot of change would take place. But we can't wait to get a good job and become one of them. But they never let any of us become one them. The one's they can make money off of from sports to politics become mostly their prize tokens and "good ones" because they are controlled by their money system. They can't speak too loud or too proud because the money system will affect their income.

    Sundown towns, frequently linked with the southern United States, are also prevalent in the northern regions. Despite being in the year 2024, many of these towns unfortunately continue to uphold discriminatory practices. Additionally, it is important to acknowledge that the US government's lending and mortgage practices towards African Americans historically contributed to the establishment of sundown towns.

      @Auntkekebaby Exactly! America owes American Descendants of Slaves reparations for the systematic racism they inflicted. Since reconstruction, these systematic practices have had a lasting influence on the way Black Americans interact with the so-called American dream. Black Americans had to overcome black codes,share croping, eminent domain, domestic terrorism, ghettos, Jim Crow, red- lining, and denial of the GI Bill all sanction by the US government. Black Americans are not looking for handouts, just what's owed for inflicting pain and emotional distress for hundreds of years.

He was widely considered “the most prolific segregationist north of the Mason-Dixon Line,” and allowed KKK meetings at our city’s community center. In a 1963 incident known as the “Kendal Street Riot” mayor Hubbard encouraged the Dearborn Police to delay their response and allow 400 white residents to descend on and destroy a home. The angry residents saw African American movers taking furniture into the house and thought that they were the ones who were moving in..

    Seem like this happened in Chicago in the late 70s before I joined the Marine Corps(I had a part-time job working at Dominic at grocery store) and walk several blocks to are apartment, and was stopped every other night by the Chicago Police(where are you coming from big N-word??? where do you live atBig H-word? and I was doing nothing but walking home to an apartment with five other siblings.(a one bedroom apartment with an empty refrigerator, but we had can-goods.(that was utterly wicked and corrupt to the core and the perpetrators of that hideous law., many of them were Catholic police, because I seen them coming out of the Catholic Church with their suits on as I walked to the same grocery store on Sundays. Monsters.☹️😵‍💫🤢🤮

      I was born in Chicago and it was one of the most racist experiences. The first time I was called the N-word and chased by a white person, I was 4-5 years old and the person was a teen. I learned early what racism was capable of and I pack accordingly in such environments.

      As a White Catholic I can tell you that those Police officers were completely living against the teachings of the Church. And they should be ashamed and repent. I'm sorry for your experience.

    Hyattsville, Maryland was a sundown town. Celestial Church of Christ WAS a historic church there. It burned down in Feb. 1993. I’m sure it was deliberate. The neighbors said the music was too loud.

    Freedom of travel ANYWHERE anytime is one of the liberties of being American. So they say. I'm a white guy who has traveled about 700k miles of the lower 48, including 47 states. I have been a full time traveler for 5 years now. There are lots of places outsiders of any race, ethnicity, or religion meet hostility. "This place is for Locals Only!" If I were a black man, I could not even survive traveling to these places. Mountain people have the most angst towards outsiders,,idk why, but it's every mountain range in the US, Appalachia being the most hostile. I was once told by a guy in Tierra Amarilla NM "don't let us catch you here after sundown, we hang people here who don't belong." Imagine the level of open hostility if it were a black person. Freedom of travel is something people did not have in feudal Europe, you needed a good reason to be everywhere you go. America was the free place you can go anywhere you like. But lots of America quickly became feudal, they let outsiders spend money, but don't be in our town after dark. It's our town, locals only

    I live in an old sundown town in the North. Most employers won’t even look at applications from “black-sounding names”. When my boyfriend and I, teenagers at the time, started applying for apartments, he had his email’s name set to ‘Tyrone Naphil’ (a tiktok star, i think? idk, it was a joke between friends) and we kept receiving “we have no openings right now” emails. When he noticed the mistake and changed it to his real, white-sounding name, we instantly got approved for one of the apartments we had already applied to.
