The way you write that makes me visualize this:
I suppose this is why they hate us.
Yes. Itâs very different.
You should never travel anywhere in America without at least three squadrons of mounted archers. Lancers are no good anymore.
We had a race riot here in July 1991. Thereâs still KKK around this area along the MD/PA boarder, mostly shifting east over the years towards Lancaster county from Gettysburg. See Quarryville 2017 KKK rally.
Not really related, but all this talk of the KKK made me remember when I was in a town near Salamanca, Spain, during the Easter celebrations.
I had just stumbled out of a bar, was a bit sozzled and on my own, going back to the youth hostel/English language summer camp, when I turned onto the main street and saw a procession in front of me, about 10 metres away, coming towards me.
They looked like this:

I sobered up very very quickly.
Turns out this is normal in Easter in SpainâŚ:S
Itâs normal Easter in the American south, too.
Itâs the TâŚTâŚTermight Tube Police

This is the gut punch I feel every day looking at this despicable world and Iâm not even Hispanic, Black, or Jewish. I just canât believe weâre where we are at any more.
This stuff never went away, it just festered in silence. The ability of humans to hate one another for irrational reasons is probably in our DNA, sadly.
We need leadership that is willing to say no to this stuff. Now we have leadership that encourages it to solidify their base of power.
Iâm a bit old and tired but I will donate money in 2020 for the elections. I knocked on doors for Obama in 2008 and McCaskill in 2012 but I think Iâm done with that. I will give money, though.
The most disgusting thing of all is that the Republicans still seem able to claim the mantle of âpatriotismâ by default even when siding with values that real patriots died to extinguish.
Absorbing read, agree or disagree with its conclusions.

I love his flurry of excuses.
âItâs a Tibetan symbol, way before the Nazis!â
âIt just matches the pattern on my iron railings!â
âWhat even IS a swastika?!â
The original symbol isnât angled

Haha, yeah - âItâs just a symbol and totally coincidental that I also hate black people and Jews.â

Someone should go to that dudeâs house at night, dose the concrete swastika in gasoline, and light it on fire.
I think itâd be a cool thing for him to wake up to.

Dude definitely looks like heâs deeply religious in his Tibetan faith and certainly not a Nazi biker.
