As you can tell from my Twitter handle I& #39;m from the middle of fucking nowhere. I grew up in the country near a tiny town far away from any city.
For the most part my town was a white monoculture. My parents always taught us not to be racist.

I have dozens of in-laws in Jamaica who have taken me in as part of the family. They& #39;ve truly acted as though we are all one human family. My family has treated my wife the same.

On the negative side, I& #39;ve seen direct incidences of racism against my wife. These moments have, at times, sent me into an uncontrollable rage.

But as fellow bitcoiners I hope you never assume that I condone any type of racism. Furthermore, I& #39;m specifically saying that it is a bad problem. It& #39;s a huge problem that has to be rectified.
