Wow, i apologize for this one.

So, i have been having trouble coming up with an example of this. So much that i actually went downstairs to ask my parents. Is it bad that the first thing they said was, have you ever been mean to sonia? After we decided that i really have no experience in this field, i would have to make up a story, to which i told them when i do that it usiually makes them look bad. After that they got scared and debated which grandpa was more racist so i could make up a story about him instead...

Ahha! stroke of genius.


So i was in the car with an unspecified being that may or may not be related to me in the recent past. (This is nto really a confrontation but im really running up short here.) And the unspecified person was not in a particularly good mood, so they were driving decently recklessly. At a stoplight he spotted a person drive by with a political advertisement promptly displayed. In response (being for the other candidate), he or she forcibly pressed the accelerator in an attempt to follow the offender. Going over the curb, the person began to tail and flash their lights menacingly at the black individual driving the car. 
Was the interaction productive? No
What made it upsetting? well it was upsetting for the person in the car in front of us and those of us in the car offended by the driver's actions.

What a shame. Incidents like this do not reflect well on the teenagers of this country. Many older people are beginning to feel as though many teenagers are racist and reckless because of incidents like these, and though it is sometimes the case, most teenagers are not very racist, though, statistically, most are reckless. Nice blog.

This is a very interesting blog. It is hard to imagine the kind of person who would act out so visibly against another only due to politics and race. It seems ridiculous that someone would exert such a great effort to make the life of another miserable. It is sad that this kind of hatred exists in the world.
