be yelling and screaming. Why is it so many men are afraid of anything different? They are what we call toxic and they are the ones that will try to convince their wives and daughters to display their own toxic behaviour. Those that get away from they are the lucky ones.

In the past it was very racist white. In fact they have a park , Camp Dearborn, where people did not have to associate with black and other people at a public park.
Now Dearborn is predominantly Middle Eastern. Which is a male dominated group.
So ... this is not surprising.
