I am seething with anger

Free speech I get it but these fuckers are making me see red like nothing has in a long time.

I suppose I should not be surprised racism is not dead but I have lived in two of the most diverse states in the country for most of my life and while there are certainly still racists here it is mostly hidden.

What is going on in Virginia is a stark reminder that there are still large parts of the country where these fucks walk around openly racist.

I hate these racist fucks with every fiber of my being. I don't know how people live in states where people are so comfortable with their racism they can walk around spewing it proudly.

As a white guy this is making me contemplate violence against these fuckers. I can not even begin to imagine how my minority friends and family feel about this.

I just don't understand it. Why are people so prone to hate.

I can only be grateful I do not live near there I am just not sure I would not wind up in jail if I was faced with these weak fucksticks.

But it is enraging to see them flaunt their vile ignorance so openly.

It wouldn't be any better if it were old white men, I guess, but somehow this just underscores how badly we've done with our youth.
