Who is insisting on making Quavo happen?

Knock it off.

Are we singing the little known verse about slaves as well?

Uh, Tim, with the national debt where it is, I’m pretty sure we’re willing to “O Canada” whatever we think we should.

“Star-Spangled Banner” is an unnecessarily difficult, bombastic tune that only Whitney could sing properly; it’s an elitist, GLORY BOY of anthems.

Maybe not but we could have CRUSHED Tom Sawyer.

We do it every night at Yost Ice Arena ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

No but we couldn’t do it with our own anthem either.

Maybe in Obama’s America

I’m from the South and I “engage” with racists, misogynists and other douchebags every single day. By that I mean that I call them fucking dumbasses and losers straight to their face because that’s what they are.

But none of those examples you are talking about involved the targeted group sitting down and saying to the bigot “ok, let me hear you out, maybe you have some valid points”. They just asserted the wrongness of the bigoted view. That is diametrically opposed to what this ad is doing.

Also, they know they are being observed so are less likely to act like dicks. They probably also know they’re being filmed for a commercial.

Because they don’t think you’re a human with agency and rights. Why would you want to be buds with them?

If you compromise with a climate-denier you end up killing yourself and them.

The Civil Rights movement’s victories were based on struggle and conflict — economic, legal, and social — not just conversation. People were beaten and people were murdered as they strove to secure those rights. They didn’t convince bigots, racists, and segregationists they were wrong, they fought them and were fought…

It didn’t seem like they were having and ideological conversation. It seems more like a protest. If I remember correctly he was trying protect a woman from him, was trying to tear off her hijab at least that’s what I read. I could consider that violence. I wouldn’t tell people to stop protesting or making their voice…

“I mean if you’re nice enough you might convince someone that you deserve to exist! Isn’t that great?”

Well as an actor you would stay. Or I guess you can live in your world where these people had no idea what the script was for this commercial before they accepted the Union approved casting call. Come on. It’s a garbage ad is the point, full stop. The scenario you want to plant your flag over is not real, so don’t get…

Plus they could have put her in serious danger depending on how unhinged the antitrans person is.

I saw the ad. If it was me? I would have left the anti trans bigot at the bar by himself. I am not sitting down and smiling with a guy that thinks I shouldn’t exist. I don’t have to pander to some bigots feelings either.
