Sep 2012

I've dumped a couple of friends (in real life, not facebook) because I couldn't listen to the racist talk anymore. I don't know if they know they are racist because they seem to be using a lot of code words usually heard on Fox News, but when I pointed it out to them, they were pissed at me. So I decided I didn't care to socialize with them anymore and haven't.
