All those mother fuckers behind her are enthusiastic fascists now.

Only one boy in that horrible photograph did ask Dorothy for forgiveness. They became good friends. He died in 2010.

Shame it seems hate fueled mfs live forever.

Good for that guy. I don’t really fault kids like that for terrible beliefs. But I do fault them as they age and fail to reconsider the shitty things their community taught them.

I hear you. I did not reply as a fwiw to redeem this shit, as it does not bring any redemption on how awful she must have felt on that moment and afterwards. It is more a snide on how many racist mfs are out there getting older than they should. Not only in the US, but my home country is riddled with these fokkers today.
