Rob Bliss stood outside a Walmart Supercenter in Harrison, Arkansas - dubbed "America's Most Racist Town" - and held a sign for everyone to see.


quote:
The words on the sign? "Black Lives Matter."

Needless to say, it caused quite a stir.

Bliss, a 31-year-old white man from Los Angeles, endured a barrage of hate speech during his project, which is now a viral rage on social media. He went to Harrison shortly after Independence Day and recorded the reactions of townsfolk, condensed days of vitriol down to just over two minutes, and let it fly on YouTube.

Is this Oppression Tourism?

Ill stick with my answer that it is an outsider that locals dont appreciate drawing attention to their town

I havent lived there in years, but I do not believe that it has regressed and that it has only gotten better there. Its funny you never hear about this stuff until it is stirred up

Mike, youve live in Indiana iirc, what would the reaction be if someone held a white lives matter sign in Indy?

I know the answer and I personally would not do it because I enjoy living, so for the others, why is Harrison so bad, if the dude comes in and all that is done is locals yelling at him?

Bliss is trying to be an arse. Nothing more and getting a reaction out of people and make them look stupid.

When you are causing trouble, you will get trouble.

Just having a little fun with some recent news. You're taking this a little too seriously.

OP watched a pussy on youtube hold up a black lives matter sign in based Harrison, AR. When you point out that he's (the soiboi on youtube) too much of a bitch to go in the ghetto of any decent sized city with a white lives matter sign he deletes your comment.

There has been story after story on Harrison, Arkansas the last couple weeks being uber racist. What effect does this city have on the psyche of the team and recruits, and do people just avoid it in general?

Harrison has no effect on anything except the dumbass white saviors that go there to tell the rednecks they are racist and then get butt hurt when the known POS racists act racist, then post a video to piss off other white saviors. frick Harrison and everything it stands for but it’s best to just not go there and ignore it, the locals never leave Harrison.

The rest of the state stays away from Harrison and Harrison stays away from the rest of the state. It’s in the middle of no where and everyone just makes fun of it. It’s literally nothing but a place full of piece of shite inbred rednecks in the middle of the woods so it’s easy to avoid.

I haven’t lived in Arkansas for a long time but lived there for 25 years so I know how arkansans view Harrison. I also have a general idea of black Arkansans views as my adoptive parents are black and they don’t even think about Harrison.

Small towns like that certainly can smell an outsider, it would happen in many towns that size or smaller. It may be an excuse, but a town that minds its business and somebody comes in and does that, they will get reactions.

So peacefully displaying a sign that is protected by the 1A is cause for all those people to go out of their way to engage him and shout obscenities at him

Whatever happened to live and let live, after all, there really isn't such thing as an outsider, a person from anywhere should be able to express their 1A Rights in a non confrontational manner, him standing on the side of the Road wasn't confronting anyone that stopped to engage him

LOL, while I agree frick Harrison you can’t say this after getting pissed at locals voicing their opinion to a white savior from LA. White savior should have just stayed home instead of going to some small town in bum frick Arkansas, where he knew redneck racists live, then get butthurt when known racists, act racist. I’m telling you the best way to deal with Harrison is to avoid it, just don’t go there. The town is 99% white and aren’t hurting anyone, just ignore it and let them live in their ignorant racist bubble.

And they voiced their 1A rights by telling him to go frick himself, your entire post is contradictory

They (Harrison) have a very active Facebook group and anything that happens gets posted. Hence why two huge videos from Harrison have millions of views on Facebook/YT recently. The video of the ladies creeping on the guy at Walmart for not wearing a mask, that was also Harrison

It’s always the people from out of state major cities that get butthurt about Harrison because they don’t realize nobody in Arkansas gives a frick about Harrison because everyone there just stays in their bubble lol.

Geez what an idiot you are

He didn't confront or direct vulgarities at anyone, nor did he approach anyone, they did all of the above repeatedly

For you try and make those 2 actions somehow equivalent, well now I know what kind of biased judgement comes out of that State
