No problem! My understanding is it's gone now, hit it's been a few years since I have been back. I wouldn't be surprised either.
This is how you get Pokemon.
It was a room full of racist moron paraphilia where they believed they were preserving history although it was set up as a shrine to "The South will rise again" style bullshit. I doubt you will find anything on those search terms since they were just how I described it. I don't know if such things even existed in other towns, but ours had a room no bigger than 15x15' enshrined with Confederate, KKK, and even white supremacist paraphernalia. It's not a part of the towns history it would admit to now.
Prior to the 80's it was more of an open affair, but at some point they just put a door with no windows on it and you had to be asked to go into the "heritage room". Even into the late 90s before it was remodeled.
These guys thankfully filled in the info, but the signs on the roads into the town I grew up in said they would hang them if found after dark, but in more racist wording. They didn't come down until 1978 in my town.
After growing up in Oklahoma I won't be shocked if they don't vote him out. Although the OKC area is one of two more liberal areas in Oklahoma so that might work against him. In the small town I grew up in our library had a closed door Confederate and KKK museum until the 90's. African Americans weren't allowed in town after dark until nearly the 80's.
I'm afraid my experience is limited, but I'm not too shocked. Granted I'm jaded, but people mostly seem to suck regardless of other demographics. I grew up in a small town in SE Oklahoma and have never lived in the fancy neighborhoods. I live across the border in Texas, but it's like 80% Conservatives here too so not a lot of experience outside of that unfortunately.
I mean absolutely. Lobbying, no party actually representing progressive ideas, and corporatism insures that if nothing else does. I'm just saying that the people who tend to vote for the fascist traitor always vote against their own interest. I'm sure it'll trickle down any old time though. checks watch
We were lucky enough to buy in 2019 before everything got out of sight in our area. We used a FHA loan which required a 3% down payment and I got a first time homebuyer grant that covered all of that which allowed us to pay closing and moving costs since we were leaving in a hurry due to the small podunk town we lived in for 12 years stopping extra trash haul off and allowing trash burning in town instead. Almost every day my house was full of smoke. I had to choose between my home or my health. We were outbid on about a dozen houses by landlords. With the loan type we got stuck with a PMI, but even with that and extortionate Texas home insurance rates we still pay half of the renters in the house next to us. Although we'll never be able to afford moving now and if we had waited any longer we would have been stuck in the corrupt small town EPA violation. We paid 96k for a brick 3/1 and five years later it's shot up to 240k in value. I feel bad for the people that can't get one now because I fear it's more going to get any better when half the country cares more about voting for the people they believe hate the same people they do.
I can't say I'm surprised there are racist doctors. After 14 years dealing with over a dozen doctors and chronic illness I can tell you being a doctor doesn't make you a good or compassionate person. Although there are some good and compassionate doctors.
Lots of people get things they don't deserve.
