[LFAQs-redacted-quote] That's the thing, this kind of ignorance is everywhere, even California has some places that are reminiscent of the Deep South once you get outside of the cities. It's more of a rural vs. urban thing. Houston is the largest city that is close to me and it's very diverse and progressive, go an hour and a half outside of the city limits in certain areas and you either have the elite suburb type racism or the Deliverance banjo playing type. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb ...

Things will probably get worse, conservatives are on an absolute war path. They refuse to condemn the white supremacists in their party, with some beginning to openly embrace it and say the quiet parts out loud. There's been this false notion for years now that racism is done and dealt with as long as no one talks about it, but now that more people are talking about it on larger platforms than ever before, the open hostility from conservatives is amping up. It's a really sad sight. --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream [She/they] ... Copied to Clipboard!
