People like this make it harder every year to consider myself a proud southern boy. Like gluv, I see the bad side of the south daily (not as much here [clinton nc], but I think it's just covered up more) and a lot of it comes from my family. When you are raised by people who hate for no other reason and religion/color, it makes it hard to "get out of" that mind frame. My family throws around racial slurs and homophobia like they are talking about the weather. I hear it from most of the clients I had at my old job and from my boss. It happens. You can be pissed about it or you can just let it slide off of you and know that YOU are the better person. That's what I try and do.
"Hope you went to the doctor recently, cause when niggercare comes into law, everyone is going to get sick and die."
"I don't like the new guy, let's drop him off in niggertown and see what happens."
People suck.
On the other hand, there are great people in the south that will stop to help you if you are the side of the road, hold doors open for people, give up a seat on a bus, or just generally be good people to complete strangers.
You take the good with the bad, just like any town/state/country/whole fucking world.
I say it now and I will always say it, I'm a proud southern boy and that ain't going to change.
