“Try That In A Small Town” Should Have Been Called “Only White People Allowed”

Jason Aldean might as well have grabbed a megaphone and screamed, “White people only! Everyone else get out! Or else!” — Try That In A Small Town? I’ve written before about how I was raised in a sundown town and how sundown towns still exist.

Indiana’s government a century ago mirrors what’s happening in the U.S. now — In 2016, an extremist political group called the alt-right played a part in successfully making Donald Trump the U.S.’s 45th president.
