Oh he’ll never actually move to the South. I’m thinking SAE pledge at Arizona State

6) He’ll be a sought-after frat pledge at Ole Miss in a few years.

You know these folks are totally fine with kneeling for a flag, and they pray to the Robert E Lee/Stonewall Jackson shrine at their house.

Mississippi person here, so I’m TOTALLY used to this complete and total fucking bullshit “h’rrtige not hate” mantra. Here’s my question, and I never get an answer from these “Heritage” types. And I KEEP ASKING.

Honestly, the “Heritage not Hate” people should just read the Constitution of the Confederate States:
Article 1, section 9:
“No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.”
Article IV section 2:
“The citizens of each state shall be entitled to…

look on the bright side, it’s friday!

There are a few variations - google “deadly friend gif” - but that’s a nice crisp version.

Remember when the government of California sent its soldiers east to fight for the Confederate States of America against the Union during the Civil War?

There is NO doubt that the mother called Tamir Rice a “thug” whose own actions got him killed, but sincerely believes her 15 is just an innocent kid with NO bias whatsoever in her mind.

Exactly.

that gif is going in my reserve bank, for one.

And listen, Idk how I’m making it thru (lots of yoga and meditation) but we’re all in this together and comments like yours push me through.

First:

Here is what bothers me the most about people like this. Heritage not Hate? Ok let’s start with that. Heritage-the entire reason why the south left was due to they wanted to continue to use FREE labor. Guess what the free labor was that was making them rich?? Slaves. That’s the heritage of the south. Nothing else.…

Some thoughts:

Jason, this entire story is fucked up, but thanks for bringing it to light.

I’ve been shouting this into the void on fb for weeks. I’ve stated it as fact (“He was advised by a military member to kneel because it’s more respectful.”). I’ve posted it as a question (“If I told you that he sought advice from a military member who said that kneeling would be a more respectful form of protest,…

And white people somehow still find a way to get butthurt about it.

You want to know the odd part about Kaep taking a knee? He was influenced by a former Green Beret to take a knee instead of sit because it’s a sign of respect for the military.

While I know this was the prep, I’ve heard the same exact stories about the Air Force Academy being a racist, rapey, far-right Christian hellhole from two friends who attended back in the early ‘00s. The Air Force as a whole is probably the worst branch when it comes to racism and the academy is arguably where the…

Look, maybe it’s changed, but every story I hear about the Academy post 9/11 makes it sound like the Christian version of a super-strict madrasa. During Dubya’s reign the stories I was hearing was that the basic culture of the school was that we were in a religious war fighting for Western Civilization. The whole town…
