The empowerment of bigotry
Taken last night in the town where I live. The license plate was photoshopped to conform with DU regulations, not because the anus who owns the truck deserves protection.
This is the second overt act of bigotry that I've encountered since the election. The first was a group of white high schoolers confronting a classmate with a Spanish surname and telling her that she and her family will be deported in January. She's on track to be competing for valedictorian of this enormous school (about 3000 students). Her mother and father are professors and both in the upper administration of the local university; her mother is caucasian, and both families have been in the US for generations.
This bullshit isn't about immigration -- it's about fomenting hate.
Our lurking friends on the right like to tell us how it pisses them off when they are called "racist" for the slightest PC violation. I'd love to see them attempt to rationalize these acts as just a matter of "safe spaces."
