A Muslim lady in hajib came to my gym 6AM with her husband today. Now, I live in Stevens Point, Wisconsin and only in the last 2 decades has there been any diversity. AT ALL. I am 66...Until I moved to Berkeley when I was 19 I had never even met a black person..or brown or Asian or Indian....
There are some really shitty redneck guys there at that time. One came up to me one time a few years ago and said "I wish somebody would kill you." I am a DEM activist and write lots of letters..Just came up cold and spat that out. November 9th he came up to me and said, 'Jody, isn't it a beautiful day today?" We were of course all sobbing...but I held it together for his assault. I watched this specific jackass today and his eyes popped out, but he was silent.
I intended to introduce myself, but she left before I had the chance. You can bet I will welcome her if she comes again. My monthly letter was published today and guess what it was about...Muslims....
