I feel like these guys are my children. I can’t pick a favorite. They are ALL my favorite!

self promotion is a hellava drug

i grew up in orange county. everyone in my neighbor never cared that my mom covered her hair or that we prayed on friday instead of sunday. hell, my geriatric neighbor used to give me loads of baseball cards for my birthday and although my neighborhood was predominately white, i never really felt like an outsider, despite the fact i was the only kid in 7th grade with a mustache. and then came 9-11. and at first i was surprised by the response. people didn’t seem mad, they just wanted to understand. people who never knew anything about my religion were curious to learn, and when they saw me, they didn’t see a terrorists, they saw their neighbor’s kid whose sister sold them girl scout cookies. but then something happened. i honestly don’t know exactly when it happened, but all that understanding went out the window. and my neighbors didn’t become tea party members or hate mongers, they became silent. and let people like those in this video drown them out.
