Rape Culture: The American Nightmare

A patron of Street Roots, Bee, donated $100 to CyberHawk. Hopefully Jeff, Megan and I file the 501c3 paperwork this month. Regardless, the $100 I need for State of Oregon fees is taken care of and not commingled with my personal finances.

The senior citizen in a wheelchair is also a military Veteran and black. His behavior is hateful and yet more people at the shelter sympathize with him after his gossip and tantrum throwing. I am not scared, but the reality is some people religiously believe in race and therefore are racists. Some of them are openly hostile to me when I wear this shirt.
