I am sad to say that I am now embarrassed to let anyone know where I grew up. I used to be proud but this past year has just been one thing after another. Stupid fucking rednecks! I am tired of racist remarks that I have heard and that my friends have endured. One of my coworkers is staying with us now because she was too scared to stay in Rock Hill after her neighbors discovered her husband is black. Her family is living in Arkansas right now so she is kind of on her own. After her husband and son visited her in August, rebel flags started showing up in front of her neighbor's homes. Seriously. Makes me sick to my stomach and angry at the same time.
I agree. I know SC has made great strides from where we used to be but we still have our racists. I know everywhere has their racists, but at least theirs pretty much stay in the closet, ours love to be loud and in your face. That pisses me off about your co worker. I say we grab a couple of Obama flags, a NAACP flag, and perhaps and American flag to fly right back at them... Wow that is really sad of them, you would think we have moved past that in 2009...geesh
This is the blog a started a while back beacause I was to addicted to Politics. I was posting too much stuff on Facebook to people who really didn't care. I saw some other guy doing the same thing and notice who annoying he was. So i went to the blog.
