Americans can always be relied upon to do the right thing, once we've tried everything else. You don't have to keep reminding us every decade.
Ohh but we absolutely do have to. Remember apartheid south africa? It took the whole world to pressure the U.S. to drop support for that shit.
Can't imagine being a citizen of a country so hell bent on oppression. All i can see is oppression coming home.
And some of us weren't old enough to understand the history of what has already been sown. Ripping weeds by their root is tedious, sometimes tiresome, work
I appreciate the reminder, and understand it's not just a "U.S." problem. But thank you nonetheless. I can't truly apologize for something that I didn't understand I was already a part of... but I'm sorry
I'm trying more than just "angry comments", I promise. It's strange to me; writing a comment and thinking about how it may be used against me, because of things. But here we are, and I refuse to give up my love for people. Sue me. Shoot me. Piss in my cheerios. I'll remain as I can
I used to joke that my goal was to just make it to 65. Good enough for me... but I have new goals now. I'ma live till I'm 92, and godspeed. I hate living in interesting times, but I guess it's what we're doing right now, so fuck it. I'll keep myself and remain kind for others, because hopeless doesn't equal helpless
And Heyyy friends, if you're reading my shit... good
Wow, somebody downvoted you for that. All you can do as a person is do your best to make things better and be a good person in the process. Some people will drag you down in their purity tests, don’t let them. We do what we can.
Hahaha just give us a few decades to flail around first, crying about how we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
