Riding shotgun in the Midwest Heartland. Deep. Another out-of-state donor mission for lungs. We had the lights on but the siren on mute. Farmland. Barns. Toothless, buzz-cut young male slouched in a deck chair on the front lawn. His cotton wife-beater on stretch. Celtic cross emblazoned on his right shoulder. Visibly proud of his sign-post, he dares us to ignore the board as we cruise by. "Take America back!" Except America is spelt with three “k”s. We make eye-contact. He stabs the air with his middle finger as if to clarify any confusion. No need. We all know the tattoo. Charming. Post-racial America. We still have a little ways to go.
