My god, I figure we’re probably on the same side of the fence. You seem like you’re some kind of angry and I don’t know why.
There’s so much racist freight in the south it ain’t worth talking about. My banjo teacher’s daddy was the grand wizard. Fucking for real, true statement.
I’m not racist. I’ve made deliberate efforts to include black folks (the primary other in my neck of the woods) in my personal and professional life.
I shook hands with a man today and told him goodbye. Iranian, he got out when shit went bad with the Shah snd the CIA and such. He owned the gas station down from my old house and expanded. We talked about getting old and staying working otherwise we’ll die. We talked about his grandkids and how I want grandkids. I’m going to miss him a whole lot. He’s a good man.
I’m a redneck, not a Yankee, and that’s okay. I love my people even if they are sick.
I got lucky, my father died when I was 4. My step father was good in spite of his religion.
That shit fucking sucks. I’m sorry for you. Sucks donkey balls.
Those things make us hard. We’re hard and take care of the ones we love. We make sure they don’t ever have to live like that. You sound tough, we’ll keep on going and loving. All we can do.
