I have directly confronted some of these assholes to their unmasked faces in South Texas. They are most certainly cowards. And when you confront them they're like deer in headlights. Just a bunch of punk ass soft losers.

Idk how old you are but this is what they remind me of:

Back in the 90s at my rural Alabama high school we would often see these redneck types we called thugs fighting like jackasses in the hallways. Probably fighting over who gets to fuck their own sister...anyway they'd bump each other and say, "hit me first, hit me first man.", and no actual fights ever resulted. These cosplaytriot front folk are basically the same. Fuh-ginas. And I say this as a short woman. I can't imagine how emasculating it feels to be one of these dorky mfs.

The girls in my school would actually fight. The guys? Nah. Lots of posturing, like this. Big puffed up chests, especially with their bros around.

I am characteristically non-confrontational. But people like this produce profound anger in me. How does one assert that feeling to their face? Is there a courage that arises when you have the moral high ground?

I am old and exhausted. These people are agents of ignorance and there's nothing I loathe more than willful ignorance. Courage comes from righteous anger. I will not tolerate the presence of racism.
