Years ago a black woman and I were on the same aisle at a store and we started chitchatting. Out of the blue - without even knowing my political affiliation- she casually mentioned that Republicns were racist.
I was done. I was tired of living in the shadows and keeping my mouth shut. I informed her I was a Republican and her eyes got very wide and she closed her mouth. We had a very nice conversation about the lies they tell her to keep her on the plantation.
We left knowing each other as sisters - I informed her that I would die for her if needed as we were sisters. She just stared at me and I reminded her that as Christians we were both children of Adam and Eve.
That seemed to strike a chord and I hope she remembers the conversation as it actually happened and maybe changed her prejudices a little.
Took my Car to the Dealership today for a Recall fix. The Service Writer got a chuckle seeing my TRUMP 45 Vanity Plates.
He told me he had another Customer who had a TRUMP Sticker on his Car. When he came in the Service Writer noticed some damage to the paint along the passenger side.
Apparently a very tolerant Liberal who saw the Trump sticker decided to write the guy a little note down the side of the Car using a Key.
The Service Writer asked if the guy needed an estimate to fix the paint damage. The Customer said hell no, it’s a Badge of Honor. Good for him.
