We waved him down and tried to prevent him from turning down this way. But you know, he stuck his middle finger and kept going. After he kept going, the car sunk in. So thats how he got stuck, explained Adams. The entire incident was captured on the live feed of the unidentified Black man, and the comments blew up in real-time after things took a shocking and disheartening turn.
When the driver emerged from his vehicle physically unscathed, instead of a thank you, he said, I dont want to be rude or anything else, but when a fella of your color comes out and starts waving at my truck

Indeed, many places in NC are still fighting the Civil War with hoods passed down from their great great grand parents still hanging in their closets with their work clothes.
Thankfully, not all North Carolinians are ignorant racist fools.

(36,050 posts)Peer review articles in both Genetics and Anthropology have found more genetic variations within the so called races than between them. Bigots take the shortcut of visual differences, like melatonin and skin color. I like to use Obama as an example. Culturally he is 50/50 Irish and African, but they only see skin color. In than case Im grayish pink.
