re: #78 Kragar
I spoke with my son earlier this evening. He lives in North Carolina with his GF. A month or two ago I made a comment to him that reaming silent when people are expressing bigoted or racist views is makes you guilty of complicity to a degree.
He said that really stayed with him and started gnawing at him, so now he’s starting to speak up. He’s not a small guy and doesn’t scare easily, so he can get away with it. Reminds me of my dad—if he was driving along in his pick-up and saw something wrong, like someone beating on their kid or a man smacking a woman around, he’d pull over on the spot and put a stop to it real quick like. He wasn’t one to be trifled with.
