Its kinda weird that their older cousin was not allowed to enter despite his valid visa. Something was definitely afoot here.

Sigh, yes i know it was about religious differences, but have you thought why religion was the flashpoint? That’s the nuance you seem to be lacking.

I’m not black. And while I do acknowledge the discrimination my (Irish, German, and Itslisn)ancestors faced here, I can also recognize that there were whole systems in place for years after slavery was ended-via the most devastating war on US soil - to keep black folks separated and unequal. These systems still affect

I’m only going to answer to this response, because you totally undermine yourself with the sub-human comment. Sub human literally means to be a being of that below a human. So no, Africans were not treated the same, so the terms of their slavery is different than that of criminals. The criminals were allowed to serve

Christ it almost doesn't seem like he gets that people were forced to come here were either indentured or effectively criminals, which is way different than views on African slaves.

Okay, so does it say why those groups of undesirables were sent here? Oh, right because they were initially sent here as punishment. They still weren’t treated as chattel slaves, which is what the difference is between the white folks who were sent here as punishment.

Well, for a country that purported that every man was born equally, and “freedom” its kinda backwards to say, “heres a group of people we explicitly choose to enslave because we view them as lesser, that slavery is fine because we’re civilizing them.”

Or that, so many secessionist speeches, say they had a god given right to own African slaves because they believed that white people were superior to black people?

Yes. But they haven't yet, as far as I know. Omar threatens them even more so than Bernie. Which is why she seems to be getting the brunt of all these attacks.

This feels about right. 

Yup. There’s always gotta be a boogeyman. How do these folks live. Frankly, hearing about Trump and McConnell is exhausting. Yet these assholes have been findings new targets to be afraid of or angry at as soon as the old ones go away.

Interesting they haven’t shouted at Bernie to go back where he came from, even though he’s laid the groundwork for many of the squads policies.

 Boo! No fun FIFA.

OP was only missing this pic. And, I’d add the Brandi Chastain celebration Photo too.

Yup. Price is a huge barrier to health care here in the US. This person is crowing about access to that care without taking into account how freaking expensive it can be or that health insurance companies can deny you for... reasons, with almost no over sight.

As it is now, the Canadian system can deny you access to procedures if they aren’t considered medically neccessary. That can be broad or not. Here, you can be denied care for not having the right insurance. So, how is that "access"? 

If you have to choose between paying for those physicians because your insurance didn’t approve of the procedure, and crippling bankruptcy, then you do not have access to those physicians/treatment. 

This person doesn’t like gay people and said that same sex couples shouldn’t be parents. Because reasons. 

I love that Cardi B. Is a history nerd. 

This is what happened to Ruby Rose when she was cast as Kate Kane for the CW Batwoman series. While there is some criticism for not choosing an actress who was both out and Jewish (and a better actress), most of the stupidest stuff was from people complaining that Ruby Rose wasn’t the right type of gay. She was too
