Good for that guy. I don’t really fault kids like that for terrible beliefs. But I do fault them as they age and fail to reconsider the shitty things their community taught them.

I hear you. I did not reply as a fwiw to redeem this shit, as it does not bring any redemption on how awful she must have felt on that moment and afterwards. It is more a snide on how many racist mfs are out there getting older than they should. Not only in the US, but my home country is riddled with these fokkers today.
