Like the two guys blasting something, that must have been rather offensive coming from rather loud speakers from their pimped out trunk brandishing a rather large confederate flag while staring at me as they drove past me and a Hispanic family a couple of times .
Nice.

Still creepy. We had a bizarre neighbor like that. We had no proof, but all kinds of things were happening, including vandalism, and after she was caught swindling money from our community reserves and moved away, all these things stopped happening. She was a grandma and in her 50s.

Thank you, TRosa.
You're welcome.

PS, the part about the guys in the I meant to say truck, not trunk, I had my headphones on so, I didn't hear what was blaring from their speakers, but it was loud enough to infiltrate through my headphones. This happened yesterday

Does Floriduh still have racist rednecks blazing their confederate flags???? Isn't that so out of style to be like that... LOL

Well at least they haven't taken my welcome mat, as someone did another neighbors a couple of years ago. LOL It's not a major disturbance, just an annoyance at the moment, and I would like it to stop mostly by tazing.
We have one idiot here who can't understand the spaces in the garage are owned, deeded, personal property of the person(s) that purchased said space(s) in which HOA dues and taxes are paid. He thinks it is okay to park in a space not being used. Not as serious as vandalism yet in the spectrum of stupidity nonetheless.

Are you kidding me, this is Florida, people still say things like, I don't mind black people joining our group. Yes, that was said to me, was actually said to me in NC too though, when I joined one of the meetups there. As far as the flag, it's quite popular in some parts. I remember when I lived in Tampa, they wanted to erect a flag quite prominently in an area that through way traffic could see it coming and going. I'll have to see if I can find any stories. These aren't things I tend to harp on, but they've been more frequent experiences since moving further south, but make no mistake, it's not just a southern thing, NJ was just as bad in my life's experience that's where I had my first experience with being called the N word for no reason other than just walking to my car with a friend after leaving a club. I have other wonderful stories, but I digress. Not going to rant only bring them up when asked about the subject. These aren't things I spend my days thinking on, if I did, I certainly might have chosen a more mixed neighborhood, not one where I would make good target practice. LOL Well, I at least would have made sure to check out the area to make sure it had other people that looked like me, I was just looking for a few requirements via the net that landed me in this part of town. Mainly the beach and transit access and relatively safe.

Sorry you have had those experiences. I often think that racism is less and I believe there is less then it used to be, but it's still around............

I think as times progress it will and has to get better... no choice but to evolve. We need to be inclusive of all people.........

Think of all of the wonderful talents and things people bring to the table... I know that may sound silly, but it rings true, at least to me....

I don't want to miss out on anything, regardless of color, creed, religion, sexual orientation.

That's another that is gonna be chipped at too..... gays having the right to marry.... personally I don't have a dog in the race as I think marriage is overrated, but they should be given the right.....

We have a friend of a friend and her son is one of the scary neo Nazi types. Scary guy. I mean, he's not the biggest guy around, but I've met him a few times. He has scary dead eyes.... somethings missing in the guy... I haven't seen him for yrs now, he doesn't have much contact with his mother, he's currently in prison right now, not sure for what...

The thing is that his mother isn't racist at all, she matter of fact is white and has a Filipino husband..... but her son gave me the creeps when I met him......

Sociopath.......
