Color me surprised.

It’s been this way at least the past 30 years or so if not more.

Lebanon had a KKK march down Cumberland St in 2000. It sure doesn't feel like it's gotten better since.

Isnt LebCo where a resident had a flaming raccoon tossed onto their driveway because they had a BLM sign out front?

Im sorry? Is flaming raccoon code for something? Or are we saying that some ass hat lit a living creature on fire and threw it at a house?

I think the racoon is code for "coon", a derogatory term for black people.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in that shithole county...
Every time I drive up there, I always have to drive through a neighborhood, I call Confederate alley, because of all the day traitor rags.

Confederate alley sounds like the majority of rural PA

my family had been there for 250 years, I've moved to Philly. Just isn't a friendly area for someone like myself, and rather boring. So much more to do in Philly, just not as much easy access to hiking.

Carbon County brought charges against one chapter in 2018. Idiots tried to claim that cross burning was a religious rite instead of an act of terrorism.
