God this made me so homesick for the mountains. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are of course touristy and kitschy and cut a downright bizarre scene, set right there at the base of LeConte and other weathered, velvety peaks. But for a lot of us Tennesseans, it’s a welcome kitsch; that area just feels like going home. The…

Seeing how Fred Sr was a Klan rally-attending piece of shit himself, I’d rather envision a Trump/Drumpf-free world.

I love the logic here: People are pissed about racial injustice, and more pointedly at our monuments to racists... and Trump, in the middle of all this, wants to make a monument to his racist ass.

He really is just such a pathetic void of neediness. Just a bottomless pit of “me, me, me.”

Mt Rushmore is a testament to white supremacy and Manifest Destiny. The US needs to return that land to the natives that consider it sacred, issue a formal apology, and restore that place to whatever state the original inhabitants want.

I live in the God damned South, and whenever anybody has used that imbecilic phrase on me I reply, “Say, what state was Gettysburg in? You remember, the big battle where us Yankees whipped your asses? Was that another example of us ‘Northern aggressors’ invading one of the secessionist slave states?”

No, not yet and with that kind of delusional ranting, I wouldn’t be surprised if he refused to resign just to spite black people. What an old-ass loser and incredible racist. Reverse-racism doesn’t exist and only racists think it does.

The Russians know white Americans better than white Americans know themselves.

It’s not even true, though. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was clearly a very severe infringement of states’s rights, and for a decade the soon-to-be Confederate states made no objection to it at all.

 "Derby" is such a whiny little bitch. 

I can see why one would be paranoid of seeing this whenever they encounter new information! Windows Brain Edition will kill us all!

I just bring up the Declaration of Causes of Seceding States. They flat out TELL YOU “This is about slavery. We like it. We are going to keep it”

Unfortunately, there are some minor historical facts you can try and use to argue the States’ Rights angle given everything that went on from 1855 to 1860 but, most people spouting about States’ Rights wouldn’t be able to bring those to the floor even if you paid them.

If you’re “playing a character” who’s an asshole, and you stay in character 24/7, that’s not a character who’s being an asshole, that’s just you.

What you thought was “colorblind” was blind to injustice committed under your nose.

“WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT IN A PUBLIC MEETING?!”

Yep, I had a AP American history practice DBQ essay that basically brings you to the same conclusion. Unfortunately, there are some minor historical facts you can try and use to argue the States’ Rights angle given everything that went on from 1855 to 1860 but, most people spouting about States’ Rights wouldn’t be…

I find that if someone says the Civil War was about states’ rights, asking “A state’s right to do what?” usually results in a lot of stammering.

Here is it: it is an admission that white people cannot handle. It is an anathema. To be taught that you are better, you are special, that you created the world and that your culture is the best and now have to own up to the fact that your way of life and your society has been paid for through the perpetuation of…

“This is also why the vast majority of Americans believe that the Civil War was about “states’ rights.””
