    Traveling While Black

    Amarillo is a very wide open space kind of town. I only got one hard stare the (which happened at the hotel breakfast) but everyone else was pretty cordial in their interactions. If you go, just be aware there are still “Tr*%p 2024 signs here and there.

    I stayed at the Best Western Plus Medical Center hotel, the lady at the front desk was friendly. There was a framed photo of cotton in a field (which I believe they may grow out there). You know, it’s the subtle details of this place lol.

    If you’re a hiker, there is Palo Duro, which will be a bit of a drive (35-50min) but may prove to be worth it. I didn’t get the chance to go but something to think about.

    Traveling While Black
    Incentivized

    I relocated to Amarillo, TX from Atlanta, GA for work. Never heard of this place and never been prior to moving there. Lived there for a year and I have to say it really isn’t for black people, yes blacks live there but they’ve been conditioned to deal with being around the most racist people you can think of. I would also travel from Amarillo, TX to Dallas, TX and those towns in between are even worse. They have speed traps especially in the smaller towns the highway runs through so mind your speed, it’ll jump from 70-75 to 40-30 in a matter of minutes and there will be a small town cop waiting to pull you over. I lived in Amarillo barely a year and hated every bit of it. Also if you do decide to move there, there’s a charter school (don’t remember the name) do enroll your child there, we did a walk through with our two boys and there was no one else there that was black or a poc, and the way those children stared at my children was haunting. 10/10 do not recommend living here nor driving through here if you can avoid it.
