I really had thought that we as a country were beyond all the racism of the early years but fuck no I was as wrong as the Vietnam war or Iraq invasion was.

I'm blown away with the racist assholes who inhabit this earth with the rest of us. I know I have them in my own family. Not my wife or kids but brothers, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles. It sucks to be them is all I know for sure.
