We like to think the racists went away in the 60s. They are still here, there's more of them Walleye Jan 2022 #19

They are more outspoken PatSeg Jan 2022 #22

Yep. They have been hiding among us all along. I still don't know what they get out of it Walleye Jan 2022 #28

I suppose it is recognition and acknowledgement PatSeg Jan 2022 #38
