A question about bigotry in Wyoming (living, moving to, food)

Troll alert, Troll alert!

Why would you cry Troll alert??? The title of the thread is "A question of bigotry in Wyoming." The OP's question was would they encounter it? This person has stepped forth and admitted that "Yes", they will encounter it.

Not a troll. Just a person honest enough to step forward and say how they feel. So yes, to the OP. There are people that want to stay by themselves and never assimilate with people other then what they see, as "their own".

It's hard in Wyoming as I'm sure it is everywhere. Where I live, all I have are good neighbors. Fortunately, not all of the are one color.

Well for one thing there is only one human race and it has nothing to do with color. Ethnicity is another thing.

What do you mean by Troll Alert? What does that suppose to mean?
I admitted that I was NOT a bigot. I can get along with all races, I just prefer to live among whites. Why is that so terrible?
Thank you Elk Hunter for your support and understanding. I didn't resort to name calling...why do others have to? I merely asked a question and was honest. By the way...on a form that asks your race, do you put "all"? I am of the white race and proud of it.

As I've made it clear in my earlier posts, one of my reasons for moving to Wyoming is the absense of other races, particularly blacks and mestizos ( Hispanic is not a race ) who have higher crime rates, lower educational levels, place greater demands on public service, and in general present a danger to Whites. I grew up in the Chicago area and one of my earliest memories was learning that Whites were not safe in black areas. At that time there were no other racial minorities of any significance. There were a fair number of Chinese, but they had low crime rates, were industrious, and caused trouble for no one.

For decades, liberals have extolled the virtues of the other races and denigrated Whites. They have controlled the teaching in government schools for years, even in Wyoming. I'm sick of it. I wish to live among my own people. I wish that certain posters would reveal their race, so that we might understand their hatred of White racial pride.

At first I just wanted to be left alone, but now I do hate them.

Every free country in the world was settled by Whites. But as the number of members of racial minorities in this country increases, freedom decreases. You may not like reading it; you may hate me for writing it; but it's fact.

It is simple. I will never understand someone making descions about who they surround themselves with, based on the color of their skin.

Therefore instead of trying to engage with someone who espouses such a point of view , I called it like I see it. The post (your first) is only to elicit a response.

I am white and do not see that the color of my skin gives me anything to be proud about. It does not effect the way I treat others or live my life, so is not a basis of how I judge myself.

Hmmmmm...maybe you don't understand because you have never been in my shoes. I wish "I" had led such a sheltered life. But having been a Correctional Officer for 15 short years and having lived in a big City, It has hardened me to the ugly side of blacks and Hispanics. They both have that "Whites owe me" attitude and of course I had to be firm, fair and consistant and polite and never show my true feelings. Personally I prefer to be away from them and live among other white folks. I can tolerate blacks and Hispanics so long as they keep a nice yard, pay taxes, are not on WELFARE, don't allow their kids to trample on my property, have respect for other's people's things,...get my point? You don't live among the people I live among. It was not always this way, but they move in and expect Uncle Sam to bail them out, pay their way through life, and if they see something they don't have, they just "take it". I am speaking of where I live and not ALL blacks or Hispanics are this way. While working in Corrections, if I had to correct an offender and they "happen" to be black, it was always "You're just doing that because I'm black!" I would be a millionaire if I had a dollar for everytime I heard that line. Frankly I'm sick of the people who feel they can treat ME like a "whitey" but Lord forbid you could never call THEM a racist! ALL I want is to be left alone and live in a quiet neighborhood with folks who respect life. I am not soliciting an argument or name calling. But I will find that town of whites only....it exists somewhere. All I was hoping for is that it might exist somewhere in Wyoming...obviously not. I'll check out Idaho.

Judge people by their actions not by their color and you will have much better luck finding what you seek.

The people you find in the correction system are not a snapshot of the outside world.

I have a white neighbor who is the scum of the earth. She is on welfare, section 8, food stamps and gets free state healthcare. She steals and is a low class person. Should I seek to live in an all black or other race neighborhood because of her?

You will not find a place in the US that does not have low class losers; and they come in all races.

[Colleen Fordham]

OMG...all I did was ask a simple question. The place "I" desire is a town that wouldn't tolerate such people. Years ago I picked a neighborhood, covenant controls for the reason of; "SURELY" other folks around me wanted the same thing....rules to live by, whereas they all kept up nice yards, wanted "quiet" after 10pm, kept their kids in line, etc. etc. However...what we have been putting up with for the past 8 years is section 8 folks moving in, illegal Hispanics who bring in their entire families and then suddenly leave, the house turns into a HUD home and is a pig pen inside, I have never seen a section 8 white person yet. When rules are broken here, I am one of the first ones to either call the Housing Association or the Police. Right now we have a pretty good set of folks buying the HUD homes in the neighborhood and it looks like it might end up being a great place to live in five years. I just picked the wrong place to live. As far as your remark about living with blacks because your white neighbor is a slob....I never insinuated such a thing. But I am still proud to be a white American and I know there is a town out there who will welcome, with open arms what I have to bring to the town. Yes, there may be low lifes everywhere, but there are also towns with good, hard working, respectable folks. As for Section 8, this is what I am talking about - folks who wouldn't DREAM of going on Welfare. Folks who earn their own dime. Am I searching for a "MayBerry"?! Perhaps. But the town I'm looking for is out there somewhere. I am beginning to think it isn't in Wyoming though.
