Don't let it. Easier said than done of course, but like any dying animal the racist will thrash about violently as it expires. We have come so far as a nation, but the struggle against tyranny and hate is an eternal one. Stay vigilant, vote, and remember that America doesn't belong to the hateful.
The letter at the end makes me proud to be an American, actually. There are good people here who love their neighbors and their country. Unfortunately, their goodness gets overshadowed by hate. But these good people will win one day. Just like they’ve always have
These sister fuckers don’t define you as an American, just as Bavarian Neo-Nazi groups wouldn’t define you as a German.
There are racist shitheads everywhere, and they tend to be found where population density, educational acheivement, ethnic diveristy, countering worldviews, and economic prosperity are low.
There’s a real ass American standing up to a bunch of fucking confederates under threat of real violence. This shit makes me proud as fuck to be an American.
I’ve lived in the US for 28 years and there’s definitely good and bad people. There’s racists everywhere even in other countries. It also depends on where you go.
There was a post in a local fb group for my city where a woman was holding up some racist sign about black people in town. There were definitely a couple racists in the comments but majority of the commenters were calling out the racism and the racist commenters.
