My hometown is this way. It only has 3k people in it, and is predominantly poor. The town was built for railroad employees, and even though there is still a depot there, there's not much else. It's depressing to go back there.
Oh, and it's 98% white.

That's barely a town. That's not what I'm talking about but I get your point. It is a noble one.

Been to a lot of towns like this in Texas. I worked for a railroad contract company so would go from small town to town doing work. A lot of these towns are mostly white, poor, and just getting by. I don't know what to say other than towns use to have a lot of businesses that support the greater farming communities and now that just isn't the case. The OP is obviously a bigot and looking for a different card to play.

I'm very familiar w/ a town like that in the central backwoods of ms and it fits exactly what you're saying... Except the 98% part...
