  • 100% white, as of 2014:

    • Tucker County, West Virginia (100% white/non-Latino)
    • Robertson County, Kentucky (100% white/non-Latino)
    • Hooker County, Nebraska (100% white/non-Latino)

    PS: No idea whether they counted Jooos as white people.

  • Looks like Hooker County, NE was diluted to 98.2% white by 2022.  

    Someone must have sent a van full from somewhere, and subsidized them for life.

    Based on what I know of Robertson County, Kentucky, I seriously doubt there are any people of Hebraic extraction there.  It is basically rolling farm country, the Bluegrass area, very rural, only one very small town (Mount Olivet), equidistant more or less from Cincinnati and Lexington.  It's the kind of place where the same families have lived there forever.

    Tucker County WV surprises me.  That's where the Canaan Valley resort is, as well as the nearby town of Davis.  It's very much a magnet for weekenders from DC, and everything that goes with that.  You'd think that some "flatlanders" of various heritages would see there is money to be made there, and would come in and either buy up or start businesses.

    The population of Hooker County is 734.  1.8% of that would be 15 people.

    Probably Hispanics doing farm work.  Nothing to see here.

    Not hardly, no.  There's not even a Catholic church in the county.  

    The nearest ѕуηαgσgυєs would be in Lexington or the northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati.  The nearest Catholic church would be in Mays Lick (near Maysville).  The TLM is available in the Cincinnati area (many options) or in Lexington (indult or a small OLMC chapel in a private home).

    I've never understood why minority demographics, such as Jews, Chinese, or South Asians, settle in the middle of nowhere, where they are practically the only people of their demographic there.  Evidently it is for economic reasons, to start up some kind of business, such as a retail store or motel.  If I were of such a demographic, I'd want to live among those of my own kind, preferably in large numbers.

  • My late Marine Corp father, Richard,  told me a story when he returned to the states from Viet Nam in 1971:  "Son, I will never forget when came home from Viet Nam, I was driving through Georgia and gas was 25 cents a gallon.  I saw a sign on the outskirts of one town which read: Whites 1,047 Blacks 0."

  • I wouldn’t want to live in a place where everyone has the same background as myself.  It’s not good preparation for Heaven.  Check out St. John’s vision of all the saved in the book of Apocalypse.

  • OK, have fun with your crystal meth addicts and trailer-trash unemployables. Those are all who live in those types of counties. No jobs, no opportunities; they're 100% white because there is nothing for anyone to move to.

    To my 👎🏼 voter, if you want to live in a place where everyone is from the same background as yourself, have a look at the FLDS and offshoots, the super conservative Amish like Swartzentrubers, some Mennonite and Hutterites, the Haredi sects of Jews, and Pakistani Muslims, in England, especially!
     Or look no farther than some of the “hollers” of Appalachia.  In-breeding is not a good thing.  
    Like it or not, God created people to develop into various skin shades, hair colors and textures, and physiques. He instructed the Apostles to go and make Catholics of all of them.  St. John saw all of these in Heaven, all Catholic, all seated around the Throne of Christ, all praising and worshipping Him.
    Nobody in the vision is there (or not there) because of his skin color.

    Why not seek out the county with the highest percentage of Traditional Catholics?

    That is an incredibly gross negative characterization.  Many people live where they live because it's home, they've always lived there, their families are there, and they wouldn't live anywhere else.  And some people don't have the wherewithal to pack up and move elsewhere.  They can range anywhere from decent, simple, salt-of-the-earth people (the vast majority), to, as you put it, "trailer trash".  (And some people live in trailers because that's all they can afford, and not all trailers are squalid hovels.  Some are quite nice.)

    The stereotype of inbred, degenerate Appalachian "holler dwellers" (think Deliverance) is wildly overblown.  Many decent, honest, hardworking people live there, and I would know, because my mother, a woman of great intelligence and quiet dignity, grew up in one of those "hollers" (it's a dialect pronunciation of "hollow").  My grandmother raised eight children in that "holler" (they weren't Catholic), and while two of them fell into misfortune (as happens even in the "best" of families), six of them made very good lives for themselves, two of the sons became very wealthy through hard work, frugality, and shrewd investing.  Some of the grandchildren, myself included, even went on to get master's degrees.

    And as to the inbreeding, that, too is an exaggerated stereotype.  Does it happen?  No doubt.  But it is far from the norm.  By the time you get out to third cousins, not even canon law prohibits it, at that point it's no longer incest.  People "up the hollers" would have sense enough to know who their close relatives are, and not to marry them.

    Yes, you’re right in your statement.  These are stereotypes and certainly don’t apply to everyone from all the communities I mentioned.  I do understand attachments to the land and to family and friends.  It just seems crazy to seek out a place based mainly or solely upon the people’s skin color!  
    Maybe I misunderstand.

  • I’m not sure where in my post the notion was derived that I was excluding complexions different than mine salvation.

    As regards mixing the races in the community, while I hate none, and admire many in all the other races, there’s a simple fact of nature, which no degree of wokeness will efface:

    Like tends to like.

    As Dr. David Allen White commented in a conference at the seminary on Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice when I was there, “If I looked out my window, I would not expect to see a blue Jay nesting with a robin.”  Neither do crappies school with pike.

    The most normal thing in the world is to prefer your own (for all people).  It’s only Judaic masonry that wants to inculcate indifference in this regard, in order to destroy culture, and make you feel guilty for contentedness with the nature God gave us.
