This sums up right wing protesters [View all]

I saw this on Daily Kos and I completely agree

“people aren’t out protesting to be waitresses and hairdressers again. People are out demanding that waitresses and hairdressers go back to work. The idea is to force the service industry to serve them despite the risk to the servers.

If you’ve ever wondered what modern white america would think about slavery today consider the white women yelling and screaming because no one will die to do their frosted bangs. They feel every bit as entitled to own the lives of others as they did 150 years ago.”
