Cross Burning

I have learned so much in the last couple of days working at WaHo--so much that I unfortunately will not be able to include in this particular post. I feel like I've ben postponing more than I've actually been posting lately.

I wanted to take a moment to bring to the blogsphere's attention some really effed up shit that went down last night in Durham, NC, where I go to school.

Crosses Burned

Sure, I've encountered racism and ignorance all over my home state. Even in the last couple of days at work a couple of individuals have made comments to me which I considered to be pretty biggoted. These cases of ignorance have always seemed weak or vestigial--perhaps more often the result of troubled childhood. But that racists and homophobes would band together in acts of violent intimidation is too much. I don't know what to do with this anymore. It angers and frustrates me to no end. I guess I can only lead by example and continue to express my own frustrations, fears, and rages constructively and creatively.
