My mom went to an integrated school in the South, made friends… but sometimes overheard racist slurs and threats behind closed doors. Same story with family I have now, all pleasent in public, friends with some gay family members. But vehemently anti-vaccine and such behind closed doors… I have horrible stories I can’t even repeat.
The duality is unreal.
A question is where that behind-doors comes from… a lot is from church. Church like you’ve never seen if you haven’t been to the South.
