I am so sorry about your experience. There is no excuse for this behavior. I don't blame you at all for the way you feel. I continue to hope for change in the red states. Developing one's morals begins at birth. It's not just one individual, it is generations of immoral belief systems. My son understands diversity, and how embracing it makes you a better person. Bridging the cultural divide one birth at a time!
