Just an observation from the great city of Johnson today in upper east TN. So I don't really even notice anymore the black guy/white girl thing in public. Whatever, landed my woman so what do I care? But as I'm walking through Wal-Mart on State of Franklin, after about the fourth such couple in about 10 minutes, I have the thought that I didn't even realize there were that many black dudes in J.C. I guess it's the university.
Then, we go on over to the Golden Family Feedbag buffet up the road and in the distant dining room over in the corner of the restaurant, as I sit eating my plate of shrimp, popcorn shrimp, sirloin, ribs, wings, general tso's chicken, and pop (it's j.c., for some reason, they call coke, pop up there), I notice that of the six occupied tables, four of them consist of a black dude, white chick and their kids. Interesting. So I get up and do a survey of the restaurant and there are four more such tables throughout the restaurant. I mention this to my wife who cares not. As I'm sitting in the parking lot still trying to get her to take an interest in my sociological observation of this anomaly (I say anomaly based on what I'd think was for geographical and cultural reasons), another such couple in a sweet-ass F150 pulls in and goes into to partake of the family feedbag.
I've not spent significant time in the city of Johnson for many years. Did I miss something? Totally random or is there some kind of local something or other that one would only really know about if they lived there. I get that this is more and more common now, but this was plum weird.
