"What do I need to know about Charleston SC? Going for this eclipse "
Wed Aug-16-17 04:42 PM by Atillah Moor

  

          

Are the people the ignorant monsters I think/want them to be?

What can I expect when I go out as one of two non white people in a group of white people?

Cops? how terrible are they?

But umm, when was this time where you didn't think like this?

You will be good as long as you don't talk like you do on here...

Wait, this kinda depends on the white peiple you are hanging with. If they get to drinking and bar hopping you might find yourself in a funny situation if they start wooing or talking shit.

Seriousy though it'll be pretty chill. Just don't talk religion or politics. Enjoy the food. If you can make it out to the beach. Give every other black person you see the nod. It's going to be crowded as fuck with more tourists than ever so yeah keep ya nose clean and enjoy yourself.

I ride my bike by GW's plantation sometimes and I'm like "this should be treated the same way as the hooocaust museum" anyway I digress

Yeah I can definitely not talk politics or religion just hope I can avoid those that do. Thanks for the advice. I will definitely hit that beach!

She said she went on one and felt the ancestors energy there. Had to bounce. I still haven't been to Charleston yet, not really. I fly in and drive towards Monks Corner to see my family.

LOT of historic sites & architecture. Check out Rainbow Row, go to the Charleston Historic Market, take in the riverfront. Basically just do all the tourist stuff you read about.
Great place to VISIT, but I wouldn't want to live there....

I definitely can see how it can happen if white folks give the food recommendations.

I tried to get to a soul food spot but the traffic was terrible and it was too close to closing time.

one problem with southern cities is a lot of the smaller ones still have their side and our side.
