(11,949 posts)But I must say will say when Im breweries and other places Ive been more on the look out for that I ever was Ok. Until the last several bbbnjnyears never even thought about it. And Ive now noticed it. In Breweries! Where beer lovers go!
But Ill tell you this. If it happens in Lake County Florida, if it happens and goes beyond a stare, if a good sized white guy, who looks like a redneck, stands up to take your side, dont be shocked.
The only reason it could happen before is because white people who disagreed stayed silent. Or maybe there were not enough of them and the ones that did felt it was a wasted effort.
In the last 3 years Ive called out and challenged the statements a several people at the brewery bar. They back down coming from someone like me. Someone they see as their own. I cant imagine what I would do if I saw someone take it beyond a stare.
Im done with that shit. I was raised in the Deep South in the 70s and early 80s. There was not nearly the level of overt racism as I see now.
Im fucking done with it. Our class president in an overwhelming white school was a cool black guy.
The south has regressed on racial relations.
Im over it
