I have a cousin in San Quentin. Killed an old man driving drunk.

For real though “America the Beautiful” is basically fine, a much better and more pleasant song (with one hell of a cover) and much less fuckin dopey in the lyrics department and it should be our national anthem.

Counterpoint: The blog post really was some trash. Reads like a shitty paper written by a college freshman.

It also conveniently leaves out that Californios were settlers themselves. There were natives in California before it was called California, and in this particular case it weren’t the gringos who did the bulk of the “civilizing.”

I’d be be lying if I said there weren’t times where an accusation of white privilege pops up and I have to suppress or correct an…

The comments around here are kinda absurd. People are super gung-ho about this idea without giving it even the mildest critical thought.

Translation: Her friends judged her for her husband’s “disrespect” of the flags/troops/George Washington/whatever and she made up a story to save face.
