Oh hey! Good thing you’re here for all the educational responses, eh? 600,000 people died for you. Like Jesus did! That’s got to feel pretty good? No? Also forget history (even the 600,000 sacrifices part?) because somehow you are responsible for division amongst the citizens. Also, talking about slavery is not…

Their whole stance is “You do the emotional labor and turn it into some bullet points for me. Then I’m willing to be a better person.”

The South’s political leadership provoked the war over preserving slavery, but very few Northerners fought it for the explicit goal of ending slavery through the war itself. Lincoln didn’t see the end of slavery as tied to the end of the war until midway through. The overwhelming majority of Union leadership and…

You know, I even read that comment, but for the life of me all my mind would read was:

It sound like a statement by a Russian troll. Unfortunately, I am 100% positive you are a real human being, because I see you every day in real life, infecting the world with racist garbage that is anti-nuance and masquerading as libretarianism.

Millions of Africans and black people died in the transatlantic slave trade. Much more than 600,000.

This is how you know someone is butthurt.

It was a mess. This one person was claiming that John Singleton is the nicest man on earth and Danielle should have just taken his complement, and Angela wasn’t there so she shouldn’t say anything.

Let’s see. You’re a #9

Uh, he said that women should make a set of rules? WE FUCKING HAVE RULES AND YOU’RE ARGUING WITH THEM RIGHT NOW YOU MOTHERFUCKER.

America shed a great deal of its own blood to end a practice that decent folk would’ve ended with a pen stroke, a stiff drink, and an apology.

You weren’t around to see that in real time? Good god, that one was a mess.

The author of this article should be concentrating on positivity and helping all Americans cement together standing up for rights and progress in today’s world.

Speculation on my part. I mean I have no idea why another person would stan so hard for Singleton.

Don’t use the 600,000 figure when talking about who died to stop slavery, as it includes the side that died trying to keep slavery. 600,000 Americans didn’t die trying to stop slavery - approximately 360,000 did.

I refuse to believe that guy was being anything other than disingenuous at the start. “Gosh, how are we supposed to know if it’s not okay to grab a woman’s thigh when it’s the middle of the goddamn work day and she’s a reporter trying to interview you?” Fuck him from the start through the finish.

Seriously, that’s some fedora-wearing, “well, actually...” crazy shit.

Right? I watched that one unfold in real time. The amount of people giving good advice like: “Be polite and respectful, pay attention to someone’s personal space, if someone rejects you, deal with it on your own time, don’t guilt-trip people, treat women like human beings ‘cause they are”, only to be met with: “BUT I…

What, no clapback for the burner that John Singleton created to tell Danielle the way things really happened? Ok to be fair Angela and Danielle handled it but was hoping to see it here :)

That SweetJamesJones comment is just so much misogyny and insanity to unpack. Couldn’t believe it when I read it (figure of speech). And then the follow ups...
