Listen.
EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas.
It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS.
There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.
also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

I’m not a person of colour or an American but this scares and disgusts me, those people should be ashamed

I know I don’t go out and reblog serious stuff like this.
But people have to see this shit, BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK??? THAT’S. THAT’S NOT OKAY.
I am disgusted, more than that, actually.
Genuinely what the fuck is wrong with people
