I never said anything about my heritage. Or justifying idiotic racists. I live in one place. I raise a kid. I can't just drop everything and go on a tirade to save everyone. Neither can anyone else. Saying it's "cowardice" shows how disconnected you are from reality. Not everyone has the means to make change other than being a good example and showing other they are being dick heads when they are being dick heads.
