Respect.

I have no respect for bigots.

That's not a secret, either.

When I was a kid, I had the pleasure and priveledge to grow up in married student housing for more than one major university. I grew up with neighbors from all over the globe, and I think that helped me to be more open-minded towards people. I think of this as an asset to my personality, and no, I won't worry about breaking my arm trying to pat myself on the back. I'm proud of this.

So, it is with great respect that I bid farewell to Rosa Parks, one of my personal heroes.

Rest in peace.
