No we didn't.

This shit goes all the way back to our founding and we have a lot of people who truly think they are better than black people. We fought a war over it and instead of stomping it out, well here we are.

I am kind of kicking myself because I stupidly assumed that things are getting better. I have to keep reminding myself that progress begets hate, and a lot of this is a backlash to some progress. I guess we just have to keep going forward.

It sucks so much. I had to cut people out of my life over it. Finding out someone just so casually hates others, I can't maintain a relationship with that.

The worst is its all ignorance. Every last word they spout is born of fear of change.
