If I may be so bold as to add,
I am not having a conversation about racism with a racist.
I am not having a conversation about LGBT rights with a homophobic christian.
I am not having a conversation why your religious freedom should allow you to make another person's life horrible.
I am not having a conversation with anyone about limiting a woman's healthcare choices.
These conversations have been had by the adult, caring, compassionate and loving members of the human SPECIES, not race, SPECIES and we decide along time ago that this hatred and division is not to be allowed in our PUBLIC COMMUNAL SPACES.
Keep your home as you see fit. Keep your sacred spaces as you see fit. And how others do or do not keep theirs, is of NO CONCERN to anyone else!
I do not want to see a man being tortured to death every time I leave my home, yet on EVERY road I travel, I am subjected to that triggering image. On businesses, in front yards, on cars and as litter on the side of the road where people died. I have compassion for your loss and that is why we have cemeteries. Forcing your grief on others is not right. And because we are a polite society, we allow these intrusions into our lives so you may live your life.
I do not want to see any flag from the traitorous confederacy. They lost that battle though they still fight the war. How can you be proud of a heritage that required humans to be in bondage to exist? How can you say you are an American and worship those that sought to tear this country apart? You should be embarrassed!
Do not pass racist memes that hold our veterans up as a false comparison to some minority group, to show how undeserving that minority group is. If $15.00 an hour is too much to pay a single working mother because our active duty soldiers make less, then get pissed at the people in power that think asking a young poor person to put their lives on the line for our safety for poverty wages is fair. Not the people that have to work for a living. GET PISSED AT THE RICH FUCKERS STEELING OUR WEALTH, PRODUCTIVITY AND LIVES!
There was a time when people fought for literacy and education. Now people are proud of their stupidity and display it as if it was a badge of honor!
