Businesses do that where I live, & I avoid them like the plague. As far as I’m concerned, if you have a giant version of that fucking fish as part of your signage, & you’re not a church, or bible verses painted on the glass- thanks for letting me know you’re probably a no good, lying assed con artist. Its incredibly…

I’m not here to argue about the bible. You could be right. I was raised in two religions that interpret some things in the bible in different ways. I don’t have a personal dog in the fight, bc I think the modern “practice” of religion is some bullshit. My respect goes to those who are seeking, or have found…

EXACTLY. The majority of these people don’t comprehend that while they would’ve profited from the freedom to move through society as a white-skinned person, & had all the freedoms tied to that fact, every single white person didn’t own their own private plantation, staffed by slaves. Fucking tools, they are.

Lolol! That picture!

I know black people that have tshirts & rodeo belts with it on there, but all of them think it’s funny (it’s a particular group, I’ll say). We have a high school here named after Robert E. Lee, & for a long time, that flag was on all kinds of shit. It used to be incorporated into a lot of logos for southern brands not…

I’m so sorry you had to come here. A lot of the land is very pretty, but the people are often colossal assholes. Also, it’s super noticeable if you’re from N. Orleans, lol.

If I didn’t have a union job, I’d work for one of my family’s companies. I have education & experience that a lot of people don’t have, white or black. However, I know if I was in a corporate environment down here, where salaries were private, they’d try to lowball me due to my sex & race. The only way that wouldn’t…

At least when people advertise that they’re assholes, you can stay far away.

Thanks so much❤️. I’m not that worried. I don’t know how familiar you are with BR, but it’s so spread out that something happening in one place won’t affect anywhere else. Also, I live in a stretch where it’s difficult to access (impossible on foot for miles), privately patrolled, & frankly, where the city will throw…

The National Guard is on standby here.

They are not embarrassed or ashamed. They’re just pissed that they didn’t get the same slaveowning, porch-sitting, free labor deal that their ancestors had. Of course, they got the unearned gifts that slavery deposited in their futures (establishment of whites in every industry to the exclusion of others until much…

I’ve thought for a long time that black people should’ve taken that flag & ruined it for them by “claiming it” for use on all kinds of shit. I’ve actually seen white people visibly deflate when I looked through them & their flag, rather than at them, & giving a response. Down here, you see them everywhere, all the…

It’s not just “calling out”. Misogyny is a number one hit in the US, & it just keeps topping the charts. I heard one man say to a group of strangers in a store (“polite” conversation in line), he didn’t know why Hillary was even nominated, bc nobody was going to respect a woman. He felt comfortable saying that shit,…

From the beginning, bc I don’t have the environmental buffer of living in a progressive place. My city’s citizens are openly sexist & racist, so unlike many of the commenters right here on this site, I wasn’t surprised at anything that happened. It’s liberals who don’t have direct exposure to the true numbers of…

It should come with the Olympic hardware. I might buy one anyway, but the tiny replicas of the medals would guarantee it. I have a Barbie that came with her own electric guitar, & others with various accessories that my pets have tried to sneak off & hide, so Mattel has no excuse.

I was sick of that “go high” bullshit from the beginning. It spoke to a kind of person who doesn’t have a clue that if you turn your back & walk away from a bully, they will club you in the back of the head. Yes, I’m sure your friends will say how you were so much “better than” while you’re in a coma, or a casket, but…

The Aryan Brotherhood is here, too, as are every other inbred group like them. He’ll overlook pot in the interest of “bigger accomplishments”. I know that from lived experience.

I’m down here. I can’t say what will happen, but I can say what I expect. Louisiana is another Mexico, historically run by the Klan cartel. Sessions is a klansman. Why the pics of him in the woods raising his hand in reverence to the burning cross haven’t surfaced yet, is a mystery to me. I’m guessing it’s bc he…

One big issue with this is that black people are often not supportive of each other. I don’t have these experiences from childhood, bc there aren’t small neighborhood stores where I grew up. However, when I go over to areas that have those stores, black people are falling all over themselves to go to the Asian owned…

For all that’s good & decent in the world, a lot of people just aren’t. Bc I’m in the deepest of the south, I’ve been surrounded by both guns, & people who dream of someone giving them the excuse to kill. That’s not going anywhere, bc some people are obsessed with them. I’m a gun owner, but I don’t stroke & pet the…
