(923 posts)I personally witnessed the white local cowboys line up and push everyone with brown skin out the back door of the bars... BOTH of them... ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. Lots of migrant Mexican nationals work the ranches, same as work farms in places where food grows from the ground instead of on four hooves.
The last time it happened was also the last time I visited either bar. I was 86ed when the bartender tried to take our friend Jesus' beer out of his hand. A beer that *I* bought him. I confronted her and called her a racist. She screamed "I'm half Mexican!" and I said, "Then you should know better!" so she attacked me, hitting me dozens of times in the face. All the brown people -- and us -- were still kicked out.
I remember hearing locals talking about killing the Clintons on a weekly, sometimes daily basis.
I was recruited to join some sort of white supremacist thing by this asshole named Russ who is thankfully now dead as a door nail. His argument was that the "Race War" was coming and I needed to arm myself. I told him if that happened, I'd be on the other side trying to kill HIM.
I could go on, and on, and on, and on...
When you're a white man, these "small town folk" tell you what they really think.
What they really think is sick, racist, sexist, violent, fascist garbage. They're morons.
Small town America is a sick place. It's only right and correct that they should be deprived of political power in a democracy.
