re: #160 HappyWarrior

When I was working out yesterday, I was thinking about my personal code and how some of my views were helped shaped by learning about Apartheid and how Catholics were treated in Northern Ireland. I just remember watching the film Cry Freedom and two things striking me, the amount of black South Africans killed by the regime and into my lifetime that happened and how we in the Reagan years supported that regime. That’s being a SJW to me. I’m a white kid from the suburbs. I just want to try to understand people different than I.

I grew up a minority, a white kid in Gary, Indiana, one of only about three white families on the block. I have little tolerance for racist assholes who grew up across the tracks from the minorities they are disparaging and generalizing about.
