I'm a typical white gal who grew up in the '60's. I don't suffer fools gladly. I love History, teach it and am involved in State and Local politics. I have a Bachelor's, a Master's and a Doctorate but, somehow, I still manage to word things improperly resulting in offending someone or their dog. It used to be really fun. NOW - it's more of a minefield where one must skip through life hoping you don't offend someone. I'm SICK of this. I was never prejudiced. I wasn't raised that way. Now - I'm afraid my parents would be rolling in their graves (if they had one) if they were in the thick of this. My Dad was already becoming very aware of the changes in the Country. He often asked "What the hell did I risk my life for? So a Hitler could take over MY Country?" They were disgusted. I feel it's my duty to them and my son and my Country to fight for her in any way I can. So - have at me!
