I use to teach high school in Pulaski, TN, and it was one of the best experiences of my teaching career, The students, whom were majority white, were some of the most respectable kids I have ever encountered. They worked for me, and caused me no problems, ever. The staff was Friendly, nice & very professional. I am a black woman, who enjoyed the school, city and it’s people.

I'm German and while there's racism in Germany too, there's is one major difference. You will never be expected to identify as part of any ethnicity when you fill out a form. It's just none of the government's business and I don't see for what reason you need to give this information when applying for a driver's license in the USA.

A rule of thumb for me as a Moorish man: Don’t go or live anywhere you’re not welcomed.

Arkansan here. shocked but not surprised you opened with Harrison.

There are good and bad people of all races. I am so glad that I was raised not to judge people merely by the color of their skin.

Born and raised in Montgomery Al didn’t experience racism until I moved to Oak Harbor Wash at the age of 21 back in 1996…

I am from milwaukee, BORN AND RAISED. And the crime is not low here. Where Did You Get That From

I've spend a lot of time in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee -- and I still remember that I heard the "N-Word" more in my hometown of New Britain, Connecticut when I was growing up than I've ever heard in any Southern city or town.

You've missed Portland Oregon too.

No one is born a racist, it's a learned behavior.

Great video. Some of the individual stories were fascinating to me, so I’m off to research them further. One thing: Vidor is pronounced Vye-dur. David Harris, the real murderer in “The Thin Blue Line” (not the falsely imprisoned Randall Adams) was from Vidor, and the documentarian spoke to its sheriff.

Very good video. You did an excellent job on the presentation.

Where's Boston?

From a March 2023 report on Alska: "Overall, homicides accounted for 19% of all violent deaths in Alaska during the period. The vast majority of violent deaths in Alaska are suicides"

I live very close to Pulaskie Tennessee . Home of the K.K.K but the South East is less likley to have a hate Crime than the North East . True . 😢

14:00 Um, why does the logo for the group “Rid Racism Milwaukee” look like two people giving each other the Nazi salute? Is this a joke?!?!? Was the graphic artist that designed that on some sort of bath salts?

How on earth did Boston not make this list?

As a Mississippi native, I'm surprised we're already to Georgia in the video and haven't seen Mississippi mentioned - YET.

A friend who was a nurse in the ER for 25 years told me that racists actually go to the other side using racist language as their last words..

I live in Anchorage and am not one bit surprised that Anchorage is on this list.

I have been all over the US, it is everywhere.

It's crazy Boston isn't on the list.

None in BOSTON, INDIANA, SOUTH/NORTH CAROLINA, or KENTUCKY is crazy.

Originally from Milwaukee WI this is so true and still true! I did not realize how segregated it was until I moved to Tennessee as a teenager. Imagine moving south and realizing it was more segregated up north!

As long as racism is not distributed equally, Racism will continue to exist.

The white guy in N. Dakota,was found to be actually part Black on a TV Show.

What doesn’t people get? If you think there is a white heaven & a black heaven maybe heaven isn’t the place for you 🤷‍♀️

I was moving through Pandlunka Ohio and Mattitoidi Michigan and was stopping at a Utotem Convenience store and a black kid came up to me and asked”mister can I had a quarter “? I gave him four quarters and he said “thanks mister”.

I lived in northern California for 42 years, got divorced at 73 and moved to Clarksdale, Mississippi. I love the people here because they are super-friendy, hospitable and down to earth and they love good music. I read it's the, "blackest state in the union." There are 26 churches in this town of about 15,000. 37% poverty rate. But people will invite you to a BBQ in the blink of an eye. There is a fantastic 4-day, "Juke Joint Festival," every April, just 50 miles south of Memphis. Come on down and boogie.

I'm an old Navy brat, which means from the early 1960s through 1970 I lived on base housing. In other words, in some of the few truly integrated neighborhoods at the time. That, and three years in a foreign posting, shaped my understanding that we are all just HUMAN.

Great video!🎉

Curious...do convicts with longer sentences have more arrest records with longer rap sheets?

well as a person from AL i am shocked not one of the ten were from here but i'm sure a longer list would include some. very interesting over all i had no idea about most of it!

I was born and Raised in the Fresno area. I left over 25 years ago. Its worse now than it was back then. Hopefully one day my Old home town. Will change.

Let’s list the Top-100 black racist communities in America!

Huntington Beach, CA should be on this list as well

So the town in SD had 29 residents but a bunch of outsiders came in and stired up trouble.

Vidor (long I) has a long legacy of racism. I remember playing a high school football game in Vidor and how a bunch of guys in pick-up trucks driving next to our bus screaming all kind of racial slurs. Our coaches thought it would be cool to have our post game meal there too, which resulted in these same losers circling the restaurant's parking lot until the State patrol arrived. That was 30+ years ago and I have no intention of ever driving though or stopping there.

❗️❗️❗️❗️PENNSYLVANIA NEED TO BE IN THIS LIST ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

Excellent! Love this video!

I'm sorry but at 10 minutes the kid going to what looks like prom WITH A STAR PAINTED ON THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD, just as the narrator says, "where tradition is revered" made me chuckle.

Wickenburg Arizona is a sundown town if I’ve ever seen one. Very disturbing.

Why isn’t Wapakoneta, Ohio not on the list? EVERYONE of EVERY generation in the entire surrounding area (and beyond) knows that this isn’t the town to stay in if you’re a person of color! My husband refers to it as “Sheet City” It’s listed in the travel guide as a “sundown town”and it’s located in Midwest Ohio right off Interstate 75 I have sooooo many examples that it’s just too many to mention! Burning crosses, large signs posted at the city limits warning black folks “not to let the sun set on their black a***s” It was ingrained in us by our elders that “this is how it is” NOPE! Not for me🤔

Interesting video.

YES!!! FINALLY!!!! No city in Alabama made the top 10 list of something terrible. I'm taking this as a win.

I was born and raised in NYC I seen more racism growing up in the 80s every group of people appeared to have their own gangs.

To all GTA players who watch: are you shocked why Tempeny's puppet was named exactly PULASKI? Made sense when I finished watching.

Belleville, Mascoutah, Millstadt, Fairview Heights and Caseyville Illinois. They are all connected cities in Illinois. Watch that "Two cities divided 60 Minutes" video.

I was in Wisconsin in 1995 and even then people complained about the segregation. I was quite frankly surprised when I learned that.

I am surprised there are no Florida towns on this list.

I once did a paper on the history of the KKK. That was really a learning experience. I did grow up in the 50s and 60s, so I saw much of the racial violence on the news. Some of my best friends were black.

Great ideas where I want to live next!

As a child, when traveling to Louisiana from Texas, it was widely known that Blacks should never ever stop in Vidor. Anyone having to use the restroom was in trouble, even 30 years ago and more recently.

Santee California nicknamed “Clantee” is working on not being so racist. When I went to HS here from 1997-2000 we had 2 black kids, 4 Asian kids and a handful of Mexican kids (I was one of them) even in 1998 people were so upset that the ONE black girl was dating a white guy. She was always so sweet. But the school didn’t care. The news even said that my high school, Santana (yes, the one the that got shot up in 2001) had 95% white kids and less than 5% other…. OTHER! Not even a full 5%. I got cans thrown at me by kids and adults riding on the back of lifted trucks yelling at me to, “go home!” I had just moved there from a very diverse San Diego town and was confused because “I was going home.” I didn’t know what they meant until a year later. I also got hit by a car that “didn’t see me.” Then he told me to go back to “Whateverstan.” Again… I’m Mexican. Then after 9/11 happened, our poor Arab neighbors had their house vandalized daily. They had to move. Imagine being bullied out of your own home that your kid hard to get because of a place you were from. Nothing else. Let’s not talk about the neighboring town… Lakeside California ugh… Santee is a tiny bit better now, but the Racists are bolder now, and don’t care to get in your face.

I had the misfortune of living for two years in Jacksonville, Florida, when my company closed down the former main office in New Jersey and paid for me to relocate there. There were only 4 people in my department, and I was the only Jewish person. The black maintenance person had to paint over the racist and antisemitic graffiti, including swastikas, on a weekly basis in the bathroom that my department used. Furthermore, I had to drive past billboards going to work that were tagged with huge swastikas. I hated living there. Right after I moved, the mayor (who was actually quite a reasonable person) decided that black college students didn't have anywhere to go for Spring Break, so he thought it would be a great idea to turn Jacksonville into a 'destination' vacation spot for black universities. Cool idea, except that the students discovered when they got there, that the police and residents were not quite as welcoming as the mayor, and they spoke up about how terribly they were treated. BTW, there is racism EVERYWHERE. When I was a high school student, I attended a summer science symposium at Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland Ohio. I expected (and mostly met) some really smart students there from all over the country. Unfortunately, I also met this one white kid who bragged that when he got home, he would prove to his father that he wasn't afraid to shoot 'n*****s'. I CERTAINLY did not want him to ever find out I was Jewish. Obviously, I kept my distance. Also, while growing up in suburban New York, I witnessed a race riot IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I had no idea just how racist my neighbors were, until one family decided to move out and rumor had it that he was selling his house to a black family (note that most people probably never realized that we already had a black family living there -- I only knew because I was part of the literary magazine at my high school, and they guy was a talented dancer and poet and actually was the editor of the literary magazine. Anyway, one of my good old neighbors threw a brick through a window of the family's house, and either the same or different person vandalized their car by slashing the tires. My family has always been very liberal, and my dad (who actually had been honored by a church in Harlem for representing them in a case) decided to go out and confront the people who were rioting and tried to calm them down. I was watching the whole thing through my bedroom window, afraid for what might happen. Soon, they did quiet down and everyone went home. But I never saw our neighbors again in the same way.

As a South Texan, the first time I heard about sundown laws was when my neighbors told me, when I was a teen, about the sundown laws in Maumee, Ohio. I must admit I was shocked. It was then that I realized that racism did not care about regional boundaries.

There is 'racism' everywhere in the US. I just can't understand why a person's beliefs, skin color, religion or background matters. This has always been difficult to understand.

What is so ironic about that is that Brandon Burlsworth, one of the most beautiful human beings to ever wear a football uniform, was from Harrison, Arkansas.

Nice video: Time to make a moove to a town thats right for me.

Originally from the south (Civil Rights Struggle) but lived in Los Angeles for 23yrs (88-2010). I experienced more racism there than I ever didc in Alabama. It was more sinister because it was covert, under layers of deception.

Racism doesn't come in white only. It's multi -colored.

I’m from Columbia Tennessee, which is about 10 minutes from Pulaski actually. I’ve never even known it to be racist. I’ve lived here all my life and I’m 58 years old. . I do have a story though and it’s not about Pulaski. Well I guess it kinda is. In 2007 I went to Sturgis in South Dakota to the bike rally. While I was up there, a friend of mine‘s father owned a motel/hotel, and we had rooms there. There was a bar about I guess 200 yards from where I was staying and I’m not a drinker and I was shooting a game of pool there and I was the only one there the friend of mine that went with me did not have a motorcycle and he was with his girlfriend, so it was just me riding my motorcycle everywhere by myself. Anyway, at this small bar, there was probably 40 people there maybe and I was talking to one of the waitresses there because I was staying just up the road and I had gotten to know her a little bit.. if you’ve ever been to Sturges in South Dakota, there’s not that many people of color there at least I didn’t see but 2 the whole time I was there, that’s why I say that. Anyway, there was one in the bar. He had two other guys with him that were white and they come over and started talking to the waitress as I was talking to her and they got smart with me said that they were police officers from Chicago Illinois they were threatening to whoop my ass, and all kinds of stuff just bullying and the black guy ran his mouth and he was pretty much the worst one there out of the three and I said look I ain’t here to cause any trouble, but apparently you didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to my motorcycle, parked next to the door as you walk in And they said so what we’re on motorcycles too I said yeah but the tag on my motorcycle is “Pulaski Tennessee” The black guy looked at me and I was staring at him when I said it and the white guy said who gives a shit? I said again apparently you didn’t hear what I said! and the black guy took his hands and placed on the white guy that said who gives a shit. He said let’s go let’s go let’s get out of here. He said let’s go now. Lol it was actually kind of funny. Needless to say I didn’t see or hear from any of them anymore The whole time I was there and I hated to do that but they were the ones being the bullies.. I know some of you are gonna say that’s bullshit and it didn’t happen but it’s the truth no bullshit. The thing is my tag only had Tennessee written on it. Maury County was at the bottom, but you could not see it for the frame around my tag, you can only see the state. The white guy was asking him as they were walking out. What’s the big deal about Pulaski Tennessee and you kept saying just shut up let’s go.

Good video. Glad to see you spread it around rather than gathering up the usual whipping boy suspects in the South.

I am born and raised in Milwaukee and when I tell you this is so true, it is. I retired in 2021 from the police department and nothing to much has changed. Some areas here are not accepting to other races moving there (suburbs). Crime is not low here anymore, it has changed alot since working on the department for 30 years.

I have lived in Texas for 45 years. Vidor is pronounced as Vy-Der and not Va-Door

It's amazing to me that cultures can't be appreciated for their art, cuisine, design and contribution to making our Country well rounded 😊

Anchorage?? My shithole town is WAY more racist and hateful. I used to live in Alaska and have spent a lot of time in Anchorage and I really enjoyed Anchorage every time I was there.

I was there in Harrison in June, 2023. The White radio sign was still on display.

I don’t care. I wake up in the morning with love in my heart. Walking around hating people for whatever reason does nothing, but stress you out and cause mischief. No race is better than the other. What we need to do is focus on our kids raise them right. I feel like the children of the corn is near.😂

Ranburn, Alabama and Centralhatchee, Georgia are two notorious sundown towns.

What??? Detroit Michigan and East St. Louis Illinois didn't make the list?? 🤔 I wonder why.

When I drove through Pulaski, TN, I was somewhat letdown. I was primed to witness out and proud racism. What I saw instead was a very normal American town, with both white and black residents going about their business. There was even an interracial couple having breakfast in McDonald's, along with two biracial children. They weren't being stared at, or treated any differently from anyone else. I am left with the impression that Pulaski has moved on beyond its racist history.

Growing up and living in the south, I experienced the time of desegregation. There were few issues I experienced during this time. Mr. Jones was our new principle who was black. Mr. Jones was a very competent principle. He treated us all equally harsh when we got out of hand. I developed a great deal of respect for him and contribute his leadership in making my high school years one of the best periods of my life. I am in my 60s now and am well educated and traveled. I can say with a good deal of certainty that in the south today the extreme racist are few, and on the fringe of society. Unfortunately, I think this makes them more dangerous. On the other hand, much of the north is still segregated. Some may disagree, but it is the reality.

Came here to find a safe place to live.

I grew up in San Diego and Fontana,from kindergarten until now and we’re 65 years old,my best friend was a black girl, we called each other sisters and she called my mom and dad, mom and dad, this was in the 60’s and 70’s. No one ever said anything but when she called my dad or dad or mom adults would kind of frown at my parents , my parents didn’t care.

Go to North Philly and see how much they like Asians and Whites

4:55 I remember this man…. And karma hit him hard wend he did a parenting text 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They're on point about tha 559💀klansville 5.0 no change in sight#without a doubt!

As a teen, I have friends of all races. We enjoy each other's company and we love to kid each other. One of my friends is black and his mom makes great soul food. I'm Italian, English, Pequot (a tribe in Connecticut), French and Welsh. Really, my friends do not look at skin color, but character.

Oh, I didn’t know they were drawing ✍🏽 that changes everything 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thank you so much for the video. One of those will be my new home. Somewhere the minority population is less than 10%

It is hugely expensive to live in Hawaii in general. So many people want to live therep(mostly white) and nearly everything has to be imported. I had a cousin who lived there when he worked for the government. When he retired the air force offered to resettle him anywhere he wanted. Instead of staying in Hawaii, he picked a rural place about 60 miles east of San Francisco, because it was so much cheaper.

Forsyth, GA and Pulaski, TN (I know for sure), and parts of MS, Murfreesboro, TN should be on this list from experience. I can tell you.

Growing up I spent summer vacations in Arkansas (my mom was from there)but since my dad was Mexican he wasn’t allowed by my mom’s family and they basically shunned her until the mid 70s.When I retire I plan on moving back to Arkansas, no family left there but I like the country. I married a beautiful girl from Mexico( 33 years now )all my kids are grown and look white but are fluent in Spanish.In school I was bullied (beat up)by the blacks,but there’s definitely good and bad in all people 🇺🇸

The best thing you can do is vote with your wallet. There are great reasons to visit every state. If there’s a reason not to, don’t. Not even online. Keep your dollars in your pocket, or go to friendly states.

One of my brothers moved to Texas and settled in Vidor not knowing about the history of the community. I went to visit him a couple of times and he basically told me the same things that were said in this video. He befriended an old black man from a nearby community and he would always have to go to his place to visit because his friend wouldn’t come anywhere near Vidor. Thankfully after about five years my brother moved away from that town.

Americans “self-segregate” in prisons, school cafeterias, and in cities. So, residential segregation is a more complex issue than many people realize.

BOZEMAN MONTANA, AS A TRUCKER I WAS ONLY SCARED TWO PLACES, AND I WENT TO ALL GHETTOS AS THE ONE MINORITY DRIVER IN THAT PARTICULAR COMPANY I GOT ALL THE LOADS THE WYTE GUYS WERE TO SCARED TO TAKE. BOZEMAN MONTANA WAS THE WORST, AND MOST TERRIFYING TIED WITH ALL OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

I seen Milwaukee in the intro lol

You forgot to add Philadelphia The city of brotherly hate

I was born and raised in Boston, I live in Texas now. I have experienced racisim in Boston but by far I have experienced the most Racism in Houston and Fort Worth. The difference between northeast and the south is in the south the racism is right in your face. I mean "stay in your place boy" type racism.

The basic foundation of human relations is to treat people with respect and dignity regardless of ethnicity, religion, beliefs, and all that stuff.

My home town in Oklahoma had the sign “ no Blacks after sundown “ it was the 90s before the sign was forced down!

In Alabama, on the official state government calendars, MLK day is still also Robert E Lee day

I cannot speak to any other locations other than Anchorage Alaska. During my entire time living there, not ONCE did I ever encounter racism. I was active in the community, social and had great friends of all walks of life. The facts of crime in Anchorage are not racist. Any location can be labeled racist if your looking for racism while ignoring facts of crime stats. I strongly disagree with labeling Anchorage racist. In fact, I genuinely can say, it was the best city I’ve ever lived in and if not for the cold and isolation, I’d likely still be there. I genuinely never experienced racist situations while living in Anchorage.

Howell Michigan didn't make the list?

Interesting, but hard to see that no town in Mississippi, Alabama or Missouri didn't have cities. There is literally a town in Alabama on the way to Culman,AL that has a big, giant confederate flag on the side of a mountain. Also, I was told that I shouldn't be staying there in that town. I was in town for work ( a huge huge retailer).

If they treat me with respect I treat them with respect!

What about Bensonhurst, New York City?
