Sundown Town

Sundown Town-
A type of Residential Segregation that was enforced by police, they have people holding grudges worse than a f@#$ing bi#$h.

A Sundown may post itself as one or it's passed down by oral tradition. In a Sundown Town, it's awfully similar to a prison town which people are housed together by race and/or color.

The most iconic and famous Sundown Town in California (possibly the entire nation) is Oildale (Northside Bakersfield, it is a secret to everybody!)

The difference is literally between Night and Day.

Once the sun sets and it becomes dark, all the way till the Break of Dawn; please go to your side or face harassment, brutality, the Darkness holds no limit to what can happen.
Example of Sundown Town-

Let's go to Oildale.....

(On the way there a sign says, "Don't let the sun set on you here Ni#$er!")

Makes a U-Turn on the next street.....

"Fuck that!!! I thought this was California,wtf I guess Heaven does have a ghetto after all!!!!

sundowning

Term given to the environmental phenomenon occurring at Oak Street Beach in Chicago, Illinois where at sunset the non-black beach patrons leave and are quickly replaced by black beach goers. The transition is subtle and, yet, profound. Occurs almost within 10 minutes of sunset with surprising accuracy.
The flip: "It's getting near 7pm and the sun's about to set, we should probably get going home"

Trojan: "Yeah, I've noticed the sundowning already"

The flip: "dude, the sun hasn't set yet"

Trojan: "I know, but its already getting a little dark outside"
