(9,897 posts)I am sickened by the faction of internet tough guys in St. Louis who steadfastly proclaim "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" was a "total lie aimed at making cops look bad". There's no reasoning with these modern day KKK grand wizards, but damn if there aren't too many of them.

I hate the n-word when it's used hatefully. Makes me violent. Thanks to Ms. Klimko in eight grade social studies for showing us slides of lynchings and burnings. It made me understand the truth, and helped me avoid the soft racism of my family.
Racism belongs under the rock, if not six feet under. It's Anti-American.
