Y'know, as a darkie, I expected that at some point in my life I would be subject to racism. I am 33, and I have yet to experience any such behavior of note. (Score one for race-relations in America!)
What I have experienced, from the time I was 5 till the present day, is
religious bigotry. Ostracism, being dumped, being questioned on my right to:
- exist
- be a citizen
- claim to be a "good person"
- be successful
- et cetera
I'm with Flint. I had to learn that lesson a long time ago; it was painful (my best friend never spoke to me again when she found out I was
an Athiest) but a very necessary introduction to reality.
We elected a black man to the presidency; we will never elect an unbeliever.
