It's 53.1 miles from Alburgh VT to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

And I think that racists everywhere are. You are missing the driving factor in racism today which is media and social media. 20 years ago I would agree with you, but now with Fox, OAN, Trump, NEWSMAX these people believe all races are at war against whites and trying to overthrow the power balance.

Please list the gun laws that criminals are currently following. I’ll wait.

do you need to travel for work? Cause Burlington is the comfiest airport but it can be a nightmare for delays especially once the rainy season gets going.

I've literally had business trips just straight cancelled three this year from BTV, it was fine and could do a Zoom but its not something I usually need to do

I’m Not saying there’s a correlation. I’m responding to someone who is implying a correlation between stricter gun laws and gun violence.

Explain the white fear of Mexican workers? They are gonna take our jobs… Jews will not replace us… they hate “ghetto culture” because they see black guys in beemers driving around with rap playing and they are in a 20 year old ford focus. They see Lebron talking about social justice and equality from his platform as a nearly billionaire basketball player and all they have is a trailer and an AR 15.

The Asia Africa thing can be again explained the same. Asia is an emerging area. Africa is trying to emerge that is an intersection. And for people in China they are not more than 1 generation removed from poverty the same is true for wealthy people in much of the developing world. So that historical stuff is still there

The other factor that can contribute is religion

Better than 5-8 years ago when every new restaurant was a farm-to-table burger pub. At least pizza brings some variety.

You're confusing cause and effect.

> One root of the problem in Vermont is that so many people have so very little interaction with BIPOC

YES, this is REAL!

So decades old story - I went to camp with POCs, bussed in from NJ . They did their best to put an even ## of POCs with us white kids. Now, this story occurs just before 4th grade - two girls in my cabin and I had just finished swimming - they were talking about wondering if they had gotten a tan. I'm like, "y'all get tans?" - SERIOUSLY had no clue! I'm much better now, really!

Shit, in NY I've seen the state troopers fake a roadside breakdown with a shitty old truck, hood up, and the spotter inside. At the next freeway entrance, they a bunch of patrol cars waiting to pull people over. I've also seen them do this with the spotter parked on an overpass, or tucked way back into the trees (with green cars).

Vermont could never afford such shenanigans.

How much you wanna bet they moved from Massachusetts?

So we should legalize all drugs then?

If dude crosses over any of the 4 VT borders he’s toast for reckless endangerment at a minimum. VT is, as far as I know, the only one that waits for damage before stepping in.

Historical doesn't equate to current, necessarily. I think it's more complicated than that. I know well to do Asians in no fear of losing social or economic status that don't like blacks. China is seriously racist against Africans. I personally think most of what drives racism today is a dislike or hatred of culture. The few white racists I've known don't like ghetto culture. I've been super poor and wasn't fighting blacks. I'm sure at one time, there was more animosity due to blacks and immigrants fighting over the same small piece of pie in the decades after the civil war, but this isn't that. Even if that exists on some localized level in some state, white racists in Vermont aren't fighting with black people over social or economic status. I get your point, but I don't think it's the driver of racism today that you might think.

Hey OP!! I posted a similar Q in the burlington page. We will be in Vermont by this summer and also have 4 kids. I am bi racial and my husband is black. Can’t help as far as experiences living there, but on my visits to see if Vt was a good fit I have nothing bad to say whatsoever! I feel like everyone is very friendly, accepting, and welcoming! If your fam ever wants to get together once we are all settled just let me know! I know it’s nice to see other POC’s 🤍

Places with more lenient gun laws have more gun violence.

Don't. You could literally kill someone with your laziness

Christ, what an asshole.

What ever pizza they have at Scumbies

Also the skin tone thing is a proof of the point. Lighter skin is seen as a status symbol, because it allows for easier assimilation into the broader culture. The concept of passing in the south during Jim Crow. It exists today, shit it even goes beyond that to names, and discrimination based on them. But at the end of the day it’s all built around the social hierarchy, and one group trying to maintain it (whites) and other groups fighting against each-other trying to not be at the bottom.

It sucks that w e as a society can’t look past that trivial shit and realize that the real structure is owners and workers. Some day Karl, some day…

Ok boomer

Yes! Can't do this in NH!

With the current laws it's treated like window tint... Have all you want as long as long as the windshield and front side windows are clear.
