lives in the unincorporated community of Coral, a part of Maple Valley Township in Michigan’s Montcalm county

I'm not going to dox him any further or anything. But holy shit is that "community" small. For those that don't know: Unincorporated means they're not legally considered a city, town, community or anything. Literally just a group of people living in the middle of nowhere, rocking the name of an old lumber camp.

A few tidbits from Maple Valley Township's Wikipedia page:

The racial makeup of the township was 97.70% White, 0.19% African American, 0.14% Native American, 0.29% Asian, 0.10% Pacific Islander, 0.29% from other races, and 1.30% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.82% of the population.

The Coral post office, with ZIP code 49322, serves most of northern Maple Valley Township, as well as portions of Pine Township to the east and Winfield Township to the north.

So... teeny-tiny "town", in a county that's 98% white and the best thing they have going for them is a Post Office and a real-deal, big-boy ZIP code. Yee-haw!

Yup, not surprised one bit that this dipshit is spewing the garbage he is. I'd be upset too if the only entertainment I had was chasing the mailman around town.

Edit: Poked around some more on Google Maps. Just want to add that they also have a volunteer fire department, 1 bar, 1 restaurant and a gas station. So someone needs to update their Wikipedia page, cause they moving up in the world.

  • 4 African American
  • 3 Native American
  • 6 Asian
  • 2 Pacific Islander
  • 6 Other races
  • 25 Two or more races

I grew up in a town that size. was way whiter, and way more racist.

I'd say this is all on par for rural America.
