Well whaddya know? Racism is firmly entrenched in the Midwest, at least as bad if not worse than in the South:
Some good news.
WTF is wrong with these people? Itâs April in SC. On your list of better things to do with your time are: tending the garden, sitting on the porch sipping lemonade (sub in bev of choice), playing lawn games (badminton is fun), literally so many nicer things to do than accost random Black people walking through the neighborhood.
