That confrontation in Merrick is getting a lot of attention. Now "Long Islanders" is trending, with people piling it on making it sound like all of us are racist.
It's not true, and it doesn't help, might even throw more fuel on the fire, y make it sound like it is. Yeah, we've got our share of racist fuckwits, and neighborhoods that were segregated outright when it was legal, and still are majority this or that, but it's changing, and there are probably as many nonracist prior as racist, going from my own experience I'd say more. And when someone pulls some racist shit there's of plenty of immediate pushbsck
Maybe the people that are piling on on Twitter are doing it for "clout", I don't know.
Excuse the rant. I know I don't have to prove anything to anyone here, I'm just venting because I know it would be bad for myself to get into it with cockwombles on Twitter.
