It not the first, it just the first you are aware of. There is a lot of performative reaction to these type of events from the general community, sure no argument there. We are used to it, too. I don't expect any tangible shift in behavior from anyone even as a try to convince you that our realities might be different, and one does negate the other. I have to code switch on the regular to not draw attention to myself yep, it something you learn to do subconsciously. Am I scared when shit like this happens, yeah, does that stop me from trying to live? No, but it does eat at you and can be exhausting. Does that mean every day I'm getting harassed or singled out? No, it can go months before someone says something ignorant towards me, flips me off, yells at me, ask me why I am here, tells me to take that flag sticker off my car, or my favorite one someone told me ones at a party in rural NY "your one of the good ones" after going about a tirade about lazy Puerto Ricans. But I get it, when shit like this is so off most people's radar it's just sound ridiculous and sensational that any sane person could easily think is over dramatic or made up. It's not that we haven't experience much in life its' that as a collective we have experienced a little bit too much of it too fast.

The public library in Derry NH has a teen art and writing club that creates and publishes its own magazines. Check your local library to see if it has options you may like. Go in person and ask your librarian if they know of any activities for your age group that may be hosted by other agencies. Not knowing what town you're in makes it tough to give many more ideas. Many games shops have game nights etc. Barnes and Nobles have a lot of book club meetups. Meetup.com has hiking and other outdoor activities.

I don't know if I should bother to point it out or if it's supposed to be funnier not to, but if you don't believe that the federal government should exist... Not wanting a federal law against something doesn't mean that you want people to do that thing.

The inability of so many people to differentiate those things makes me feel like I'm in a world of unthinking NPCs that can't really consider anything and are simply filling in their responses the way a chat bot does, seemingly coherent most of the time, but lacking a real understanding of what they are commenting on.

Or do they all on some level get it and realize your being trolled, but just want to hate on people they disagree with so much that feigning ignorance so they have the excuse is more appealing.

edit: It occurs to me that things like this are a sort of ink blot test. You say a thing that by it'self doesn't really tell you that much, but could be taken to mean a lot of very different things then wait and see how people respond, where does their mind take it.

It's not ignorant.

I'm just not a melodramatic child. There's video. It looks like it's an edgy teenager.

If either of our takeaways are ignorant, it's the rube acting as though this is a catastrophic event and we should all panic about it. It just makes it seem like you haven't experienced much in life.. Which would actually be in line with the word "ignorant".

It's a gross thing for somebody to do. But no, I'm not going to play along and encourage panic because some rube is over excited about the first instance of racially motivated vandalism in their area.

The majority of "hate crimes" over the last few years are fake, staged.

The few real ones, are disgusting -- there is no place for racism. Hate is a horrible thing.

But over the last few years, time after time after time, it's always someone "just trying to start a conversation".

The demand exceeds the supply when they’re on the seacoast with signs that say “keep New England white”…? Huh…

The supply gets amplified by people that comment like you did downplaying the incidents and life experience of the commenter you’re replying to. Complacency will only embolden these nazi pricks to continue doing what they’re doing.

The only answer is simple…hate has no home here, and anyone that says different is part of the problem.

Not ridiculing the people that have been targets.

Jesus, smh

This plan has not been enacted yet, and from reading another article posted here, it seem that it may be focused t those people that hold licenses from other states not having to obtain a NH license, too.

Ask your instructor what they think about this. You may think they want to save their job, but they will also give you insight as to the benefits of becoming a trained professional. You should plan to continue your education for your entire career, always learning, constantly advancing.
