You need to talk with your black friends and find out how peaceful their lives and the lives of their families have been. Many of us are tired of lies about other races, “left wing radicals”, and other systematic propaganda spread by the the right. They really are the extremists and prone to violence. Ask the Governor of Michigan about that.
You should have seen my husband's face when I called the KKK terrorists. "They are not!" he cried. "They're patriots!"
My father said those very words about 60 years ago....and he was one of the most racist people I ever knew. Not to mention misogynistic, homophobic, and ethniphobic.
Lol... I think the guy I AM MARRIED TO holds that title currently. When I married him there was no TV in his cabin, and this town was all white people, so the subject never came up. When we got a TV, the comments began I was shocked. He had seemed nice and normal. He thinks I am the one not normal. I've lived all over-- 5 different states. He was born and raised here...in this town. He knows only what Fox "News" says about the rest of the world.
