I had a similar experience in middle school.
I was bullied to no end while I was living in King and Qween county because of the way I talked.
They want to take our monuments and our flags down and they want to teach us to talk like they do.
But you know what?
Those Yankees can take their "We have to take that stuff down before it offends someone!" and their "Speak proper english you inbred!" AND SHOVE IT UP THEIR YANKEE ASSES!!
