I’m 99% sure you’re trolling but it’s funny because I do know people irl who feel this way about Harrison, especially black people. These are people that have never been there obviously and people that know zero about history. Harrison has a racist past, but it is not the head quarters of the KKK and Harrison has come along way in terms of social progress just like the rest of the country. You think there aren’t lefty wackos in every corner in america and you think they wouldn’t love the viral sensation of them being “oppressed” by good ole boys from Harrison? People go there all the time to do just that and antagonize people. And yes there are still some racist people in the area but it’s not the majority. Also the little statement about don’t go to any place with mountain in the name is ridiculous. There are some places in Arkansas with mountain in the name that are 50/50 racial demographic or majority black.

Actually there is not.

Mountain Home: 0.38% Black
Mountain View: 0.42% Black
Mount Ida 0.40% Black
Mount Pleasant 0.00 % Black
Mountain Pine 17.00% Black
Mountainburg 0.00% Black

There are however approx 75 cities, towns, villages and burgs in Arkansas that are 50% or more made up of Black residents...

50/50 huh? Where? Mountain Home? Mountain View? Tell me which Mountain is 50/50?
Every Black person in the State know about the racism in Harrison because to get to Springfield you have to go through there. Black people can't even stop to use the restroom out of fear of getting harassed but it's ok because you said it's just a few bigots that does it.
