logans_girl2001I skipped Thanksgiving with the extended family this year for reasons and a text I received from my daughter tells me I made the correct choice.
My family is all from East Texas and of Irish/Scottish descent. I know my parents are die hard Republicans (my mother has said numerous times that Obama is the anti-Christ and that the initial protests in Ferguson are signs of the end times).
According to my daughter my father and another family member (the family is so large that she only knows those that are closely related to us) were talking about the grad jury decision. She said that the man my father was talking to said that Michael Brown deserved what he got.
To restate: this white man from rural Texas said that an unarmed black man who was begging for his life deserved to be shot six times by a white cop.
And this is why I no longer vote for any person who runs on the Republican ticket.
