John McCain was a war hero. A veteran.

He was also a really shitty politician when you took just a step past the shine the media has put over him. I get it. I used to be blinded by McCain's politics too the problem is the rest of the GOP is so bat shit insane, just regular bigoted insane seems great to so many

That dude was all "i served in the military and was separated from my kids, spare me crying about illegal immigrants separated from theirs" so...instead of siding with parents separated from their kids cause you understand how rough that is...you side with the government that kept you from yours?

One day we need to have a conversation about the blank check of "respect" we give to military veterans just because "they served"

It's starting to get on my nerves because its used as a weapon 1. the US military hasn't "fought for our freedom"* since the revolutionary war.

*"our freedom" means white ppl. You could MAYBE make a case for the Civil War being fought for black ppl's freedom but we all know the caveats there

I gotta get off twitter and possibly FB today. Seeing this gross call for "civility" towards garbage human beings that actively participate in not being civil to the most vulnerable in society is really really making me angry the audacity to bring up the civil rights act and comparing it to this liar piece of shit being told she's not welcome is beyond infuriating

I'm gonna be honest. I'm not even mad at the people celebrating this dude's death.

Lot of the folks all up in their feelings about that were ready to party when we heard George Zimmerman was shot.

So this whole fake "but he was a real person" thing is just...fake I'm not saying you personally can't feel bad that he's dead. Or that you have to celebrate that he's dead.

but this flimsy ass moral soap box some of yall are standing on is ridiculous

It's hilarious seeing white men, from the minute they "founded" America, set up the country to shut out any voices but their own, now complain about others telling them they need to sit down and shut up the history of America is white men determining the indigenous people of this land didn't have the right to not only their lands but their own voices.

"Ordinary Americans carried out inhumane acts for Trump" - this article pisses me off. Not for the acts it describes but for the fact that it acts like this hasn't always been 'ordinary Americans' baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/o… Dear White America: It was "Ordinary Americans" who had slaves. It was "Ordinary Americans" who ran native Americans off their lands and put them on reservations. it was "Ordinary Americans" that locked up Japanese Americans in internment camps

Let's talk #ThreeBillboards and why Sam Rockwell's character, Dixon, has a trash ass character arc that ruins the whole movie. It's basically the prime example of the problem with the white perspective when making films I did that rant as part of a review I was doing for The Commuter. But i got on the topic of Three Billboards because there's this theme of making trash ass white cops seem like they're still "good people"
