[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1068449, member: 24302"] I was engaged to a girl in Memphis. Lived there for 3 years, got on at the Hub, transferred out as a FT courier. At place I transferred to in NE I went to a church of denomination I grew up in. As that denomination isn't as strong in that area as it is in the Southeast that congregation was one of few in region where millions lived, so we had a cross section of society there, most of whom were from other parts of the country but were working in one of that city's many national corporate headquarters. One of my fellow churchgoers was a black man from Memphis area who became like a brother to me. I asked him to be my best man at wedding. My fiancée told me she didn't care if he was Bill Cosby, she wasn't going to have a ****** in her wedding. We broke up. Point is that I observed a lot of friction between blacks and whites in Memphis. I know whites there who are wonderful, sweet people until they start talking about blacks. On the other hand can't tell you how many times black cashiers at stores acted like they could spit in my face no matter how polite and pleasant I tried to be. Black on black crime in Memphis is horrendous and that feeds a lot of white fear. Met many wonderful blacks there too. Memphis isn't for amateurs. [/QUOTE]
