ANYTHING. I will always try to drop what I'm doing and get to you no matter what. You made me feel welcome the first registration day at college and that's something I'll never forget. You know you rock and all of us around you enjoy your presence in our lives. BTW, your wife is more educated than me so people need to step off. You can always count on me for anything. ANYTHING.

I know there's not much to say that can make that type of treatment easier to take, except that I'm sorry you and Bea have to go through that.

The thing you have to realize bro is that you know you are awesome, I know that you are awesome, and nobody else really freakin' matters. People are going to believe what they want to believe and there really isn't a whole lot you can do about it. You should really only focus on things that are within your control. The rest you just have to let happen. And cheer the fuck up already. Damn! Yeah, people from the South get the same heat for being perceived as stupid because of their accent.

It can truly be frustrating when a large portion of the population is ignorant of facts you think are obvious. On the other hand stupidity, IMHO, is knowing something and ignoring it. Or even worse it is choosing NOT to believe a truth that is apparent to others. This is where most prejudice lies. Ignorance can often be overcome with education but stubbornness, stupidity and hate are harder. I am always taken aback when somebody I thought I knew makes a hateful comment. I usually just assume that people I hang out with are above such things (to be clear most are). I am less angry, and actually kind of amused by my friend the conspiracy theorist. In your specific case I don't know how to help man. I think anybody being mean to Bea needs bitch-slapped, but that never really solves things. It only feels good till the Police arrive. I hope you find some calm and comfort, and that Bea is able to let others crap not affect her. You two deserve better, especially this time of year.
