Reply to comment by TV_MAGIC in Trump costume downtown. by jackie_wiggiwoo

I thought it was a joke considering location. I originally saw him at the stoplight in front of Billards and I was in shock. Once I picked up my son I drove down St Louis to look and take a pic. The preteen was over it and begged me not to turn around and try again.

I'm glad that your child recognizes it because it is beyond childish behavior. I don't think that being offensive is wrong, but I do believe that racists, sexists, nationalists, and bigots of any kind are always putting their selves ahead of others and that act in and of itself puts them below the rest of us who just want ourselves and others to be happy.

Agreed. On the way home I explained to him how white supremacy is a form of Nazism. I hope you don’t mean I was being childish. It’s hard to avoid the groups all down Glenstone. I don’t intentionally expose him to that but we do encourage conversation about current events and what it going on in our world.
