    "When Anthony and Marlie Love moved to Seattle in 2019, they knew they wanted to explore their new home. The Loves moved from the Midwest, and
    were uncertain about how they would be treated as Black people as they explored unfamiliar neighborhoods in Seattle and other places around the Pacific Northwest.

    “We weren’t really sure what places we would feel most comfortable,” Marlie Love said.

    After a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, the couple decided to
    create “Traveling While Black in Seattle,” a YouTube channel that rates different destinations based on several criteria, including how welcome Black people may feel while visiting there.

    The Loves recently documented their trip to Portland. While the city
    earned generally high marks, the Loves didn’t give Portland the highest comfort rating."

    Perhaps George A., RORT's own contributing Negro, should post his version of RVing while Black, with all the politically correct qualifiers, like how putting a flag decal, especially with a blue line in it, on their "hoopties", can make folks of
    color more accepted during their travels, should they venture into peckerwood territory?

    If I understand it correctly his position is the same as any other
    bigot. "There is so little actual racism that it isn't worth worrying
    about. The only people concerned about racism are Liberuls, who are also
    the cause of racism." His solution is that all Black folks should dress
    and act like affluent White people.
