I hope you don't mind me text editing it to ethepeople.org for an article I posted there. I'm percieved as a white, although my grandmother's geneology fanaticism led to us finding out that one of our slave owning ancestors had plenty of sex with his slaves. Obviously she is not my only ancestor, so I'm a mutt, as derived from her daughters deeper delving into both grandparents history. I only know the prejudice you have experienced from my own attitude to be outside the mainstream. Mine is by choice. But a choice that no self respecting human can deny. Then again, I've been in jail (etc.), where I'm the minority and I have to fight for my rights as a human. Also, I have been "gay bashed"(Beat up by 5 white band guys from Detroit, because of the way I looked) and I'm heterosexual. Rednecks will see anything they want. Enough of all that I just wanted to thank you for your story. And fight the good fight! You handled that situation better than I would have. Sincerely, Dan I found your story about photographing the locks while researching the patriot act. I hope you don’t mind me text editing it to ethepeople.org for an article I posted there.
