    word… but the main point is there’s a lot more racist shitbags in california than most people would think.
    we have this reputation as super leftist but go few miles away from the coast and it’s desert alabama….

      Preaching to the choir on that one, I grew up round them hell I’m related to them. For anyone who grew up in California this isn’t an unknown especially if they’ve traveled around a bit. Most racist shit I’ve ever heard was out in Victorville. But yeah the only reason that they are somewhat forgotten about is because they’ve been beaten over the head for long enough that it takes a large scale resurgence for it to matter.

          Ya know every time I hear about fucken Kern county it’s some new type of fucked up that makes me proud to be from San Bernardino. Seriously why fucken do that?! It’s a comical level of evil that even 1980s star scream would find over the top. Like sure SBSD ain’t all that much better but at least they aren’t over the top about it.
