this unreasoning and ignorant hate. Yeah. Fired. Good. All these situations are showing me what I've known since my first personal run-in with a white racist in 1967 while training to protect the red, white and so blue. People like this make it plain that racism and hate of POC will ALWAYS be with US. In more or less varying intensity. During intense era's of open racist hate, we can fight, hide, deny, tune out the consequence, turn a blind eye or VOTE FOR anti-facist-anti racist Democratic Party candidates. And do our damnedest to marginalize and drive the trump white nationalists back into the toilets from whence they came.

Oh, the four that came after me so long ago? The biggest one suffered injury, one was hurt. Two others ran and were my friends for the duration of training. Not blowing my horn, just showing that violence is sometimes necessary when dealing with hateful people.
