Huh? Man I kicked it Ohio State. Hung out with the former Mayor of Youngstown's son and some of the ball players white and black. Remember I was working with their NROTC program in the Diversity office while in grad school. I was still on active duty at the time. There were some surburbs of Columbus back then that was dicey. But I had no issues at all with C-bus. I still love going up there. Black mayor, black police chief etc.
Now West Virginia was scary. LOL. I didn't like Cincy either. They had a lot of racial tension when I was at Ohio State. Dayton was cool. Nothing but us there. LOL. As long as you didn't go to the rural part of the state you were okay. Athens Ohio where Ohio University was not bad at all either. Bottom line is the areas outside of the cities in the midwest are racist. Nothing new. Just not many of us in those areas.
This is JR's long-winded way of saying he had a gat and that he stayed out of the areas where there were no blacks ^^^^^^^ lol. Some of us, we had to matriculate around those outer fringed areas where there were none of us or hardly any of us coloreds. And oddly enough, the few coloreds that were there, were culturally just as racist as their anglo counterparts. *gasp!* *gasp!*
Yes there was a lot of racial tension when we were @ state. The damned skin head house was right there on High St. I saw klan growing up but I wasn't (mentally) prepared to deal w/ the german neo-nazi skinhead types up there.
