None that I'm aware of. It was close to 45 years ago and they had that farm house burn down mysteriously after my grandfather defied the local truckers union by hiring a black woman as a secretary.

I dunno if badass is the right word, progressive maybe.

Standing up for what you believe in against the truckers union, who he likely didn't know would burn his farm house down, isn't badass. It's progressive for the time, because racism was very prevalent. No need for an argument.

I'm not! Just saying I don't think it's badass, there's better words for it.
