"She undoubtably was raised to be racist".

You don't know that. You assume that because of the color of her skin and where she lives. Your parent, apparently, was raised to be racist too, and perhaps you were as well. You can give yourself credit for getting past that upbringing, but can't believe it is possible for that woman. She guessed that one black guy is a football player and you score that as the moral equivalent of the n-word. What an awful thing it is to look at a person and immediately assume - "skilled athlete". Oh the horror.

And then look at those people. They are 'the Other'. Not like us. They actually goto church. Oh the horror.

Well, I take shop. My sisters goto church. My parents goto church.

You were afraid somebody would drive by and shoot you or your house, and yet, nobody did. Your neighbors are apparently voters and citizens and passionate about their politics, just like lots of other people. Just like me, a name I call myself.
