23. Amazing what a little exposure . . .

Wed Jul 25, 2018, 05:55 PM

Jul 2018

can do for a person's, ahem, conscience. These people really are like cockroaches: turn on the light and/or public glare and they're all . . . guilt ridden and apologetic.

It's bad enough when a white person screams this in a moment of anger and frustration. But this guy actually allowed his anger and bigotry to lead him to the other driver's home to continue the fracas.

No excuse for this. The guy deserves to lose his job, his business, whatever. The fact that his customer base is in the black community? How stupidly racist can you get?

But I guess we all know the answer to that. He could have had a gun in that van.
