Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I disagree. Rockwell actually altered the picture to ONLY include Ruby. He also cut off the heads of the white marshalls escorting her, for emphasis.
If the goal was to reach a mass audience, then showing such an image would have failed. I don’t know that people were ready to face their own bigotry in such ugly detail and would have simply tuned it out.
Where is Harriet when we need her?
I watched her speech in a restaurant on CNN or something and right afterwards, the commentator pointed out how emotional she was, and compared it to all the other times she’d been emotional. It was very hard not to flip a fucking table.
Just be on their side and intercede and make your actions reflect that all the time. If people know you they should already know where you stand. If a stranger needs help they shouldn’t need to look around for a pin, you should already be there.
Here it is, the tweet that starts the story.

You have a troll by the name “Feminist Tears” on your thread. I recommend dismissing his comment rather then replying to him and ungreying him. Just doing my part to keep the comments troll free.
Someone near and dear to me said of Hillary this morning, “She took the loss like a man”. I think my head spin all the way around before I exploded.
While I am still going to try to treat people with respect and dignity, I am also going to claim what is mine. MY space. MY body. MY time. If you want to infringe upon any of those things, be prepared to face the consequences. Otherwise, we should get along just fine.
I want to remind everyone that the dismiss button is your friend for dealing with bigots and trolls and to please not angry them. If you wish to reply to their stupid comments please do so in a reply to yourself with a link to the troll’s comment included. Also make sure to inform people of trolls so they can dismiss…
Continue to be try and better person every day. Help all people who need it, treat all people with respect. That’s my plan.
**last tweet should read ‘12 at the end**
I got told that “waking up people” is more important than my life by a Stein voter on FB. She was very smug and giddy about Trump winning the election because she’s worked volunteering for politicians for 1.5 years.
All of my FB friends have been using this as their defense for voting for Trump - “but he’s better than Shillary!” Fuck off you morons. When things go to shit I am calling out each and every one of them and reminding them that this is what they voted for.
BUT IT’S BETTER THAN HILLARY, amirite 3rd party voters/non voters??????
Plz don’t respond unless you can detail how Hillary’s 100 days would be worse. Have fun with that assignment.
