9. I'm interracially married, reports like these bring up so

many feelings for me.

It's horrible that in 2004, people still burn crosses. It's also completely horrible that some people are too chicken shit to say it to your face that they hate you and wish you harm. Or as Maya Angelou said, "I refuse to allow myself to be pecked to death by ducks...' Those that are too cowardly to express their true intent, but take refuge in taking small swipes and little pieces of a person with passive agressive behaviour, etc.

I hope by 'protecting herself' the woman in the article meant, "I'm packin' heat and I know how to use it--you sorry bastards!"

Bliss
