I think of the two rednecks killing them. They represented diversity. Oh no, can't have that! Boom!

Make no mistake about it, the White Nationalists and Fundies will do whatever it takes to prevent multi-culti, including starting a civil war. Sinclair has banned the term multi-culti from being spoken on their stations. Even though (black) slaves were first brought here in 1651, Donnie And Crew will continue to believe America is a white country. A la the 50k racist demonstrators in Poland recently.

I've never trusted the Fundies and rednecks since Easy Rider. It wasn't just a movie. It was a slice of America I'd rather not experience IRL.
