"People are so easily offended nowadays…"

Actually , folks were offended before, many just didn’t believe they had the freedom to [b]say so[/b] without retaliation.

And seriously, unless you’re choosing to remain inside an entitled, privileged bubble, listening to only the traditional mainstream U.S. narrative, you [b]should[/b] be offended by some things that are still happening. That offense makes you an empathetic human being and not a heartless, apathetic piece of crap. 😞

I was and still am offended by racists and I am extremely empathetic. I’ve seen town signs like the one above and it puts a chill up my spine.
@BackyardShaman One of my earliest memories is seeing such a sign while we were driving to Louisiana. I think we were in Vidor, Texas and I was just learning to read. I read it aloud and asked my father what it meant. Grimly he replied that it meant we shouldn’t linger, and stepped on the gas.

@bijouxbroussard while I was growing up I saw these signs around North Georgia, we were supposed white people ourselves. However we weren’t white enough for those towns. My dad told me when I asked about the signs they were horrible mean people and we got on through there. Sandy Cross, Georgia close to Commerce Georgia.
