Salem, SC is right up the road. No surprise there.

One thing you notice since we've been heading up to Cashiers/Highlands over the last 50 years is the large number of Confederate flags per capita in the area. I've actually driven through the tiny little town of Salem, SC(population 151) and counted 8 Confederate flags flying proudly high atop flag poles in the 5 minutes it takes to drive through town.

Clemson is an inclusive island in the sea of of Northeastern GA, Northwestern NC and Northern SC.

We played Temassee Salem HS in basketball. The Black players and cheerleader would not go to the game because the crowd would scream racial insults the whole game and harass them getting on and off the bus.

That was over 30 years ago - I guess things haven’t changed much.

This was only a few years ago. those hillbillies haven't changed one bit. should the WS player have thrown a punch, probably not, but from what I heard at the time they were calling multiple players the N word the whole game. even the cops could feel something was gonna happen. they say so in the article.

I used to know some black truck drivers (talking 30-40

years ago), and they would not deliver or pass through Salem. They said it was notoriously racist and dangerous for black truck drivers.

I was very concerned the organized troublemakers would infiltrate and wreck everything, but evidently they couldn't find the place <img border="> It's almost ALWAYS a good thing to live out in the boondocks, now a little bit more than ever.
