We work hard, we organize, and despite news to the contrary, we are more united than ever racially and politically. We have some pockets of old hold outs that want to foment hatred, but mostly, we know who our friends and neighbors are - they aren't a scattering of meth heads and crack heads. We are just plain, ordinary Southern people that work together to build a better future for all of us.

Said it was hard to live there, even when he worked in Raleigh. I really feel for you folks and am so proud of the effort there. It could have been us. Who is the guy with the shiny white skull?
