That kind of surprises me, being so close to Philly. But then again.... I can't even say I observe things one way or the other here. Our county is now mostly white and Hispanic. A very small percentage of black folks.
So of they didnt say it, how do U know that's how they feel hun? I've been accused SEVERAL times in my life for "brining up slavery"...when in fact, I never broached the subject. Usually happens when i speak about social injustices...or the military industrial complex...or white supremacy...then I get accused of "blaming slavery"...
OK let's keep it funky my dude. We don't have stand your ground laws like you do and we don't have curriculums trying to do away with black history. That's the south homie. The education is poor to keep the people extra ignorant down there.
