12. I would have never believed it either, but after we went ahead and elected

the POTUS I watched people let their inner racist out and from some people that I would have never thought racist. I had to re-evaluate just how racist this country is...since I formerly believed it was in decline. I hold no such belief now. The past two terms has really opened my eyes.

I live in south Texas and that does have a lot to do with it, but the out and out racism is off the charts...at least in my 42 years of life. People I respected, I've lost all respect for because they wouldn't vote for a black man. Flat out refused to the point of stomping their foot and crying.
