I found this blog searching for posts about unpacking your knapsack. I'm a White woman in a town that is predominantly White. We had several mentions in the book "Sundown Towns" by James Loewen.

I with you 100%!!!! This is YOUR forum to speak your mind. If other people don't like it they can just move on to the next blog and be insulting can't they? This is America and no one is making them read your words.<br />I love that you are speaking your mind and heart.......that's what blogging is all about :)<br />Take good care and........<br /><br />Steady On<br />Reggie Girl
