What county is this in Ohio?
It sounds like a place I'd like to move.

And you find the exact same thing in just about every developed country on this planet.

Your local trucknuts baw has more in common with a farmer in southern Germany than he does with people born and raised in large urban centers in his own country. And vice versa.

Speaking as someone who grew up in BR and now lives in DC, I wholeheartedly agree. Most people who live here came from somewhere else.

The fact of the matter is most American live in metro areas on the east and west coast. That's the new America, like it or not .

I love when progressive elitist talk down to me because I am from a place like Zachary, LA. The fact that they have doubled down after the last election is an indication that they still don’t get it.

Evidently he wasn't severely traumatized by these kids with toxic masculinity as a child which scarred him for life.

I want a “White American” museum in DC. If the blacks can have one, we want one too.

He's most likely wondering why he was the queer most of the time.

Lol. This uppity fig thinks he’s cultured and worldly because he moved out of his hometown and saw a black person museum.

If he really wants to get educated and feels left out, he should come work with me in North Baton Rouge everyday and get really immersed in the culcha.
