overweight white person. I'm collecting on my Social Security, so to bigots intent on insulting me that means on "some form of federal assistance." I am a Georgia resident these days, and it's also common for political bigots to dishonestly characterize "us" as having no interest in improving schools or quality of life of ourselves.

That's extremely offensive. Since you don't see it, I challenge you to repost your exact same words, inly replacing "white" with "black," and see what that gets you. If you need help, I can go find a video of some old fat ignorant black people for inspiration. I'm sure there are plenty available.

Political bigotry is not only just as real as racial and religious, all come from exactly the same place: inside ourselves. Which should be sobering since we're all proud of being free of bigotry here.
