There's real no easy answer. So much depends on the communities involved. When our communities were forced into consolidation by the state in the 60's it was pretty ugly. My older siblings had to endure many hardships that I won't go into detail about. I was 8yrs younger and things were improving. By the time my nephews started school conditions were much approved. Now you'd never know there were problems, but it took time. I knew as a kid, we didn't really belong, but were tolerated. It usually drove the kids from my community to excel to prove we belonged. I still chuckle when I return and see the Wall of Fame at the high school. Most of the names are from my community. I have no hard feelings, it's just the way things were.
