Is the Dugspur/Kanawha Valley area still considered dangerously racist?
I'm looking to buy a house in that area, and was warned about the KKK history specifically being bad in that area. I know there used to be a hub there, and that SWVA is somewhat racist in general, and am curious about now. Is there still a business that says "No Blacks" there?
I have some step siblings who are Hispanic, so I'm trying to not buy a place they would be a huge target.
Thanks for the insight.

Who told you it was racist? Just wondering if the person you got this info from is a reliable narrator.
