True. Some places in the south occupied by whites are are scarier.

I was talking more in terms of Redlining, access to governmental loan to buy houses, segregation, Jim crow etc etc.

Do you know that the US govt through the Federal housing administration made it illegal to approve mortgage to black people?

Do you know that there's a term for when black people move to a white neighborhood? It's called blockbusting and it was used to reduce the value of a property.

So, Redlining can affect the amount of funding available for an area. The wealth of the area, the health standards and also the quality of schools.
I know all these as well
These factors fuelled the stereotype

True! Redlining .... Blacks moving into White area... property value drops and less money given to the community. Whites moving into a Black neighbourhood...gentrification.. a whole lot of money is pumped into the area to upgrade everything! .. then there is the one not knowing the game... youbsee how well Whites keep their neighbourhood?.. not the lazy drug peddling Blacks!

You can continue with this boss. You can just adjust the title of this thread to something like "A Nairalander's road Trips in America"

Bro please tell the Mods not to move it to front page,it usually makes travel threads less interesting with irrelevant messages and often times derailed. You may even end up abadoning it.

Thanks for sharing these lovely pics! Did you report that Jamaican driver for being rude? It would be best if you told us more about the experience of travelling by bus(the perks and disadvantages). I moved about three years ago to Europe with my studies, and there we aren't moving by bus. I usually travel by train with Deutschen Bahn, and fortunately, they have this online platform https://www.dbauskunft.com/de/ where you can book tickets in advance and be sure you have a seat on a specific route.
