Guess I should have added that. I saw other stuff, anyway, that brought it all home. Plenty of Confederate flags, KKK, JBS, CCC, things like that were discussed openly in my world. You know what they say about children hearing things. I sure did hear a lot, and am glad that my folks were against itr publicly. But you also learn patience and that you have to pick your battles to go forward. The attitude that you can just spit in the faces of armed and vicious people in real life doesn't match the situation. You have to live through something to overcome it.
