They get serious snow in New England and lots of other places but there really isn't anywhere in Tennessee that gets a lot of it, now or then. Maybe you have the area mixed up with some other place that you've been?

Regarding prejudice, I think most of the South has moved on from that. Maybe not in the deep South. Who knows. But it's been my experience that the North seems to have more of that stuff, especially in the Midwest. By the way, I'm a Yankee.
Above a certain elevation like the Cumberland Plateau or the Smokies, very low temperatures can occur. I remember a -25F temperature driving throgh Crossville in 1985 for example. Snowfall is negligble in most of the state during many winters, but higher elevated areas see "some."

Remove "black" from your post. It's only relevent to you, and because you see it as relevant, YOU will be the problem.
Stop watching "Dukes of Hazzard" reruns, realize it's 2012 and not 1963, move wherever you want, and remember what another famous old person of color said: "the best way to get rid of racism is to stop talking about it".

The above poster has it spot-on! While there is very little employment available here in Clay county, the fishing on Dale Hollow is hard to beat! Turkeys are everywhere, and if you don't mind the occasional rattlesnake or scorpion, I would say this is the best place to live anywhere in America. I say that having been to 48 states as a truck driver and have lived in 13 of them.
Oh, and everyone is black when the lights are out....
We don't care about color, why should you?
Come on down an stay awhile!

Default Where in Tn. should an old black, Californian move to

I'm not native Tennessean, but I've lived in the south central part for a long time now. I think you would be perfectly fine most anywhere in Tn. Lot of mixed mkarriages around here so I assume folks don't hate one another too much. I haven't noticed or h eard of any race related problems around here. I dunno precisely what is meant by the term "race polarization", but people black and white get along just fine here.

Once again, small potatoes for someone from up north. Maybe that's a big deal for someone from California, though. Not me.

The only places in Tennessee that will be of reasonable comparison to the Northeast will be in the high elevations (5,000+ ft) like Newfound Gap or LeConte Lodge....basically places where people visit, but don't live.

Yep. And even those places are no comparison.

But just to remind people, if you aint used to the left half of TN, .. it gets hot in the summer, and it isn't a dry heat. I've noticed DeKalb, Cannon & Wilson counties can be 108 while at the same time Cumberland county can be ten or twelve deree's cooler only a short skip away.
