I don't think you know what you think you know. My first wife of 14 years is from Tulsa and lives there now. I've been there many times. It's nothing like you explained it was. They have more racial divide there then anywhere I've been in the south.

I've lived conservative places, Savannah for one about ten years total over two different decades, nice place, everyone gets along great. Just four hours away is Atlanta, I lived there also, black mayor, terrible crime, worse place I've ever lived. It's the only place that I had car almost stolen. The city is horrible, that's why built a new baseball stadium to replace one that was only 20 years old, they moved it out to the suburbs.
