9. I'm an old white guy ...
Tue Apr 3, 2018, 09:00 AM
Apr 2018

Raised in a rural white church, school, environment, and grew up in a racist family.

Two of the best friends I've ever had were a Muslim couple from Bangladesh.
They were more family to me than a couple of my Trump loving siblings.

I don't care about someone's color, religion, sexuality, national origin.
If you are a nice person, I like you.
If you are not a nice person, I don't like you.

Just my 2¢.
