Whoa, yes, that is it! I think we want to believe what is best and it is easier to blame class (because money talks) than race/sex issues (because IT IS 2016 HOW?!?!?) but that is the reality. And that is what was so upsetting because we had somehow convinced ourselves, even after everything we have seen this past year with the police officers and Black Lives Matter and beyond, that that was a fringe element.
And it is not.
And I am dreading our Christmas in Wisconsin now. I honestly don't know if I will be able to be civil anymore with my in-laws. You will probably see MANY posts on LJ from me as I bite my tongue to keep from ruining the holiday with a full on meltdown.
