The problem with morgantown, w.v. to hancock, md is that the popo uses "blacks" as their informants for their drug and moonshine bust! If yuh black and yuh traveling on 68 and dem state troopers see that yuh black, they will strip search your car also, no joke. A few fly fishing tourneys I went out to West Virginia, I was met with a cold shoulder because of race.
My father in law moved to north eastern pa to live amongst the amish, one of the first chinese immigrants in that part rural north eastern P.A. My wife was sometimes bullied for being Asian, my father in law tried the breaking bread approach. It worked with some and did not work with others! For the one's it worked with, they became good friends and when their circles got larger, they stood up for her but it was not easy at first! Show dem people we is real people, yuh cayr conquer everyone but yuh only need a few!
