In reply to the discussion: The murder of George Floyd has shown me I work with a lot of racists [View all]PurgedVoter
(2,216 posts)18. I am an retired and live in the South
The majority of my childhood classmates who could not understand why the Germans put up with Hitler are now solidly against Antifa. My people suck. Statistically, we old southern white men are racist idiots.
Since I am retired I don't have to see them or work with them. Worse yet, growing up and living in the South, I learned the language of the South. I have no idea how many stupid horrible wrong words have escaped my own lips without my knowing what I was saying.
