Friend on FB: "They don't want us to live there. They want cos to move there & give them jobs so that they don't have to stop being bigots."
I didn't feel like tweetstorming, so here's a screen shot. "What middle America can do to get more jobs in their area."pic.twitter.com/1nYSehA4kA

We don't hate you, middle America-You hate us. So we left, and stopped caring about you. But we'd forgive you, if you stopped hating us.

And now, as it does every time a non white non male writes a piece that is critical of "real" America, the attacks come. Turning off notifs.

@MJB_SF look I think it's just a bad, condescending opinion -
@jimpjorps ever live there? -
@MJB_SF yeah, I'm from a Midwest town whose mines closed in the 80s. it's not like none of them know they live in a dead region -
@MJB_SF I'm sure they'd love to have all those amenities but when the town is barely keeping its schools going, where will they come from -
@MJB_SF my hometown is kept afloat by a hospital, a college and a prison. there was an air force base there but it's gone now too - さらに表示

Here's a dm I got this morning in response to the brou ha-ha. From someone too afraid to have their own name on Twitter.pic.twitter.com/w9v9lP0pys

This person was not alone. There were others. Gay folks, brown folks. Women. They don't hate. They don't feel safe.
-
@MJB_SF And I don't blame them. I'm a straight white male, and *I* don't feel safe around some of these wackos! - さらに表示

@MJB_SF But way to think it through. The professional class is blind to anyone outside their own experience. -
@MikeUp I assume you are being sarcastic. And making assumptions. I am a blue collar kid. -
@MJB_SF Not sarcastic at all. Your identity is still centered on your education and "achievement". Class-blind because that's harder. -
@MikeUp I used to think it was all my hard work. I became liberal when I realized the system has to change too. the system won't change 1/ - さらに表示

@MJB_SF@Bonn1eGreer Not being American nor living there, I don't know if it's true but, golly, it reads harshly! -
@paul_tanto@Bonn1eGreer we from midwest speak plainly/ directly to each other. in Britain esp it feels strange, but that is our culture. -
@MJB_SF@Bonn1eGreer Fair play to you Melinda, there's no criticism. Yes, culture is different and does count. Will Midwest change? -
@paul_tanto@Bonn1eGreer I hope so. because those jobs sure aren't coming back. -
@MJB_SF@Bonn1eGreer Probably explains the opioid misuse problem. -
@paul_tanto@Bonn1eGreer i had a pinned tweet: made point that black people join gangs for the same reasons rural whites misuse-no hope. - さらに表示
