"You are what is wrong with America today. I grew up with a set values that we do not pass judgement on people we do not know, and do not talk behind people's backs when we think they are not listening."
And that's why, when I was a bartender in a small town in Ohio, it was always so odd when the good old boys at the bar would make nice with the black guy who owns his own concrete company- then when he leaves outright called him a n***** to each other. You small town people are grown real good- right? Some are, some are not. Just like in a city or anywhere else for that matter. Just stop pretending that those of us who were raised in a city don't have a good set of values that we adhere to. That's just as fucked up as assuming that everyone in a small town is a racist.
