I am not worried about how I am depicted by others around the country. It's my future son that I am concerned about and his son after that. At some point we as Southern white men have to figure out how to go about fighting against this stereotype being put on us without trying to tippytoe around the subject. The only one ignoring anything is you ignoring that we have an issue with being stereotyped by the rest of the country. Going to watch 12 years a slave that is based in Mississippi right? isn't helping anything. I know plenty about the history of the damn country. There's only so many hours in a day and I'd rather fill the small amount of time I have devoted towards entertainment on something that entertains me.
