So here’s a rule to follow everyone: If someone offends a group of which you are not a part of, it is not up to you to decide when people should get over it or accept the apology.

Well, given the preponderance of statues and memorabilia celebrating the apartheid Confederacy, the explicitly White Power Attorney General, President, VP, advisors, and entire administration, the carceral state, the increasing segregation, and the extrajudicial killing of POC, you might understand where people get…

You drawing such a parallel is obstuse, grandiose, delusional, and stupid, no matter how you slice it.

I don’t think you understand the definition of the word “peaceful.”

What she’s saying is just another side of the “why can’t you tolerate my intolerance?” coin. Basically, if you believe that homosexuality is an abomination, then a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance of (among other things) homosexuality is a flag that says your beliefs are not welcome.

Yes we all remember the “Fabulous Civil War”.

I’m not in an open relationship but my boyfriend and I swing (we’ve been together a little over five years) and if you had told me ten years ago that it would be something I really enjoy, I would have looked at you with very judgmental eyes. But it’s equal parts weird and exciting due to the fact that it’s something…

“Did you write this?”

Investigation=Lets see if this blows over.

I love how whypeepull cry about being guilty by association and smear campaigns in situations like this but throw out the “black on black” violence argument and can’t understand how black people hate when one of us is murdered and they quick to broadcast that one picture they had with their cousin who you must be in…
