But who am I to say, I raised my kids to not notice "color". It's just skin, after all...and we all have it.

Excellent post. My black friend and his white wife get wayyy more grief from blacks than whites in the US. In many other countries though, it's reversed.

Well gee, gosh, golly. I don reckon I never seent no Commy a'fore. I shore hope Ol man Jenkins gits his lynchin rope dunn a'fore y'all git down hurr.

Better get used to SWEET TEA... YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW.

Funny how you are only worried about being hassled by whites though.

20% of the hate crimes in the US are perpetrated by blacks, who make up a much lower % of the population than that.

I'd suggest you just vacation in Crown Heights, NY to make sure you are safe from the evil racist Clansmen that lurk all over the south.

Not sure why you guys get so pissed off at me for asking for information regarding any possible dangers for an interracial couple to go on a road trip thru North and South Carolina.

I only ask because I do not know what to expect. I would whole-heartedly tell you anything you wished to know about North and West New Jersey. AND .. I would not become angry or defensive at anything you said about New Jersey ... BECAUSE .. I think it stinks too .. haha.

I like that. Will you give me permission to use it as a title to the next abstract painting I create? I have a hobby of creating abstract art. I like to use titles from different languages .. and also different dialecs. Your message is great ... I would like to use it.

You guys are too funny. But wait. You got to understand that I am from Tennessee .. so to me .. you are not Southern. But .. then .. again .. I have been up north for many years. I have forgotton what the South is. I have forgotton about the Elk River that runs thru the middle of tennessee.
But it gives me a sort of warm feeling .. to hear you joke with me. It reminds me of my roots and of what you are , unfortunately in a silly and negative way, trying to , hmm , show me perhaps?

The deal is this. I am going on a road trip with a WHITE russian woman. I just want to know if there are places I need to avoid. I havent been down there for years ..

But I can say this .. I am a southerner at heart .. Much More So Than You Will Ever Be.

Are you a forensic expert???

As to your OP,I wish people would have some ideas of what the south is actually like BEFORE posting...

Good catch. I think the OP is making it up as they go along. Liars will always slip up.

You singled out a specific race and geographic area for fear that they would commit crimes against you and you can't figure out why your racist butt offended people.

I will go back to your OP and change a few words and see if you get it after that.

I am from Iowa. My partner is Russian; but I guess to all minorities that is the same as white. So I am curious as to whether or not it is dangerous for a white couple to go on a road trip to the northeast.

For example, will I suddently see low riders in the rear view window with a bunch of guys wearing do-rags?
-----
Are there straight white couples in New York? Will people stare at us as if we are martians if we walk into a grocery store or resturants?
-----
Are there any cities which have heavy minority gang activity and/or white slavery rings that I should try to avoid?

Any informative info will be appreciated.

I hope that these minor adjustments might give you a clue to how people might view your post.

All the best.

Thanks for the info ... I think after reading the many posts that it is relatively safe to go on the road trip. Sorry if I offended anyone with my query. Feel free to ask me anything about New Jersey. I promise not to be offended.
