Life comes at you fast.
SHE CHANGED HER OPINION REEEEEEEEEEE
The thing is, she didn't just change her opinion
party lines changed.
Meanwhile, once a racist, forever a racist if you disagree with them
And that should also serve as a reminder as to why you shouldn't tie yourself to a political affiliation
jaden, check this out: https://gop.com/flashback-democrats-talked-tough-on-immigration-rsr/ article with videos and quotes of Dems against illegal immigration
I'm only up with more current politics since I only hopped onto this train after Gamegate.
Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, the Clintons and a host of others
btw thank you feminism for making me active and aware of politics.
Even if you don't take an interest in politics
Politics may take an interest in you.
Politics takes an interest in you.
Yeah.
My brother's at that point where he's just trying to avoid politics
but it's becoming more and more apparent to him that it's going to affect him whether he wants it to or not.
We're fine now, but for awhile there I lost my best friend of over 10 years to politics one night, because I had the audacity to suggest that *maybe* some of the problems plaguing the black community are of their own design. lol
And that *maybe* in some ways they are their own worst enemy.
My friend couldn't handle that and called me a racist over facebook.
We're fine now, though, we managed to talk things out more. Plus, he recently got called racist for suggesting that a first generation Chinese immigration (or the children of?) might have difficulties adjusting to US customs and culture.
lol, again, life comes at you fast.
I have to admit that I laughed.
if you call people racists at the drop of a hat, don't be surprised when someone calls you racist
you know, i wish the left would realize that calling everyone racist is just devaluing the term. Its becoming a badge of honor now
It used to be this huge stain upon one's character, at least just the accusation of it.
Now it's like "yes, but what have they *actually* done wrong?"
I would argue that certain groups of thoughtless white people were involved in pushing black culture to the point it's at today.
Speaking of doing things wrong, off to my janitorial job which is a result of my poor life choices. lol
I'm not saying it's all their fault, but just that they're perpetuating it, that some of it is.
They've got a feedback loop problem.
Actually -TRYING- is discouraged.
Nothing to be ashamed of janitorial work Jaden. my father put 3 of us thru college and he was a janitor (who branched off into buying/running apartment buildings)
So to an extent, yes, you're right
Nah, I know, I'm not mad at the job, just at my own choices which led me here like I said. I went for a pretty niche degree in college, and no, it wasn't gender studies.
But the self-defeating messages weren't present with [Rev. Dr.] Martin Luther King [jr. - Due respect, he earned those titles.], or even Malcolm X or Muhammad Ali
It still might work out for me: fire stations these days tend to hire older men to be firefighters because they're less balsy and take less risks than younger men.
and on top of it he was an immigrant (a legal one) the the US
But there does come an age where you're just too old to be hired on as a firefighter.
He made out OK for someone immigrating to the US with nothing more than a suitcase of clothes and not speaking English...meanwhile others grow up here and never make it off the welfare rolls
Which is true, yeah.
Who? Which one?
