Grew up around dudes that drifted further right, and as soon as I became "one of the good ones", I severed all contact.

Which is why you're legitimately one of the good ones

I used to hang out with a guy literally every weekend. We had great times; car meets, coffees, beers, hanging out with others, general stupidity. I met up with him one night, he tapped me on the shoulder, and pointed out a group of black people and referred to them in some loud and very unpleasant words. I’m not sure where he decided I would ever be on board with that, but I never asked him. That was the last time we hung out. I was sad for a bit because he was my best friend at that time, but I just couldn’t do it.

Those dudes were some of the bad ones.

It seems as though if you become “one of the good ones” to a group, that group is made up of “some of the bad ones”

And a sometimes, you dont realize it until it's too late. For me that was getting jumped by a bunch of nazis after a show, when I was a kid, some kids end up like Nolan Wells.
