Who goes to a Confederate monument? A hater and a racist. When I used to try to describe to Bob how bad it was in the Panhandle, he did not think it was, and a poster called Skipper would talk about how racist Boston was.
It is everywhere, and my son is upset about it. His wife has five sisters. The youngest in her senior year of high school she had a horrible auto accident with head injuries which changed her behavior. She got involved with a handsome black kid who was selling drugs and ended up getting an eight year jail sentence. She had his child who is going into first grade. My son has made an effort over the last five years of being a father figure.
He includes Carter in most activities my grandsons are involved. So he took the boys up to Wisconsin Dells, and camped at a campground we took my son and daughter when they were young. There is a marina and bar where he took the boys to get a pepsi at the bar, and they were playing country music on the system. When my son came back in with Carter, a guy got up and put a Rap record using the N word. My son is a big boy and he wanted to tear this guys head off, but he realized in the end it would only hurt carter. The kid is being brought up in a white world and is a smart loving great kid, but he is going to have to learn that stupid fearful people are intimidated and scared of black people. I am very proud of my son. I am also proud of my grandsons who do not have a racist bone in their young bodies. Hate has to be taught, and this Hill character is cowardly.
