Regardless of showing a place considered “the most old school backwoods”, one thing people who don’t live in places like this realize is that, people in these small towns, run down or not, all know each other and look out for each other. They have realized that having all the money and the things and the big fancy houses and cars don’t mean you are happy. I’m from a large city in Florida but grew up and lived mainly in Georgia and SC with family roots in one of these small towns just like it. We are planning a move back to a small southern town. I wouldn’t trade a small town in the south feeling for anything or any town or city in the world.

Well you knew the consequences, because the slave patrols, herrinvolks and Karenvolks were there to remind you of what your place is. If you knew what was good for you. You'd better stay on the dark side of town. And just be happy with your 40 acres and a mule.

Most of the kids had to quit school at 16 to go to work there. At that time,in the 40s, I think my mama and dad made 2.00 a day wages. My dad was the village drunk so his money went in his pocket. Mama fed and clothed us on her pay. He also was a mean drunk. We had a tough life too. But when he wasn't there we had a fun time. We took advantage of every moment.

A little history about Dawson. This was a segregated town. A private school was built so more privilege families would not have to intermingle with the less financially wealthy. There was industry here until NAFTA moved plants to Mexico. One by one the plants closed and hard working people were left without jobs. Older people stayed, children moved away, families died and relatives sold the homes to landlords. It's still a good easy-going place to live. But no one really cares about investing in the old things. Next time drive through the beautiful homes in the area. Many of us still take pride in our humble homes.

The situation in Dawson and every run-down town or neighborhood in America can be traced back to two things: (1) the Democrats with the Great Society of the 1960's when the government revved up the FHA with totally delusional financing programs to make sure that all blacks would forever be wed to the Democratic Party, and (2) the Vietnam War which was totally bogus but which quickly introduced millions of American servicemen to Southeast Asia drugs and addiction on an industrial scale. Credit for both goes to old white men in Congress who got us into both - may they rot in Hell.

Hawkinstown is a community that my family started almost a hundred years ago. Not to be confused with these other small towns. It is basically black owned land from generations of our ancestors. It was part of a Plantation owned by Coca-Cola magnate Robert Woodruff. Lots of history in that small family owned community.

Of all the hoods and cities through the states and Canada, many worn down and dirty, only one was gutted by scrappers, destroyed and burnt down by it's own citizens, Detroit. Windsor was vacated at the same time, only a couple of miles away, across the bridge, but it still stands.

It is interesting to see the reality of the USA, the Brazilian media would never show us this other reality. In Brazil there are ugly places, but this only happens in large urban centers, the places far from Brazil are very beautiful, it's not like there.

It's NOT that simple. We only see the outside but not the real culture. While it charming, cute and "down home quaint DO NOT be fooled. With that also comes a mindset that is not based in equanimity. Say if you leave those areas, become very successful and go back you will find those who stayed will not understand you or appreciate you no matter how well intentioned you are. This will play out in two ways. They will see you as goofy billy-ms Willie Maes son from down the street and will not translate that to the man you are now. But at the same time they will see you as NOT one of them because you left, grew, got money, nice clothes etc. For more understanding of this Google "a prophet is not known in his own hometown. It tells of all the good jesus wanted to do when he returned home BUT his own people just could not deal with and accept him. They could only see the poor carpenter who made tables and chairs. So he had to leave them at THEIR level as this is what they wanted for themselves. And he now had christ consciousness and could not go back to material mind in order to fit in there. These small towns are very much like this. I have relatives in South Georgia and visit briefly every now and then. I am like someone from outer,space to them. I just smile nicely, keep pretty quiet and then go back to California. No way could I ever live ther again.
