THAT is the part you don't see. This is the UNITED States. Any "communities outside our own" are making their own bed, then bitching cause they have to lie in it.


Wasn't united when white men burned Greenwood. Wasn't united when the Feds waged war against AIM

wasn't united when the drug war was waged on poor black and brown men not long after slavery and genocide

Not united when people have to have significant amounts of money to afford to keep themselves out of cages for things that many do but only the poor are caged for

The history of this land is filled with examples of mistreated communities rising through the ashes and once again being destroyed by racism and greed

Not united when those sent to kill and die for the rich man's wars now sleep in the cold and die in the streets

Not united when people like you still want to segregate. Still want people to believe there are lessers among us based on color and culture.

This is the United STATES. It's not the United Communities, or United groups of people that don't like the United States.

You don't have to "play the game". But don't expect everyone else to move over and make room for YOUR game. ^^





When I was half way through 1st grade, my dad's company had to go to Puerto Rico to build a bank (big one). I and my brother and sisters had to go with. We had to go to shcool in Puerto Rico. We didn't bitch cause it wasn't in English, we just learned Puerto Rican.

This country has a set of rules and expectations of it's citizens. You either play by those rules and act within those expectations or you will be an outsider.
This has been the way of humans since the cave days. And if you think that bitching and complaining is gonna change it... well, you're gonna have a rough life.

Or you fight injustices

Your God-King Trump is even talking about criminal justice reform

The world is not as it was when you were raised. It's better and it's heading away from your ideology. You've spent your whole life tunnel visioned and now you don't see the world has changed around you

The white man's "rules" are being challenged and have been. The systems "rules" are being challenged and have been

Your ways are dying

We should end the concept of states and just have the Republic of North America. Eradicate state legislatures and governors. Federalize all functions of every state.

If you don’t like that idea you hate America.

First off... they aren't MY rules. Second off, nothing is dying out. This is just a brief bunch of noise in the grand scheme of things. And it isn't even that much noise.

This is the way the world works. It always has, and it always will. You can see reality for what it is, or you can spend your life beating your head against a brick wall. The choice is yours.

They aren't your rules because you bow your head to all authoritarianism

You follow or pretend to follow them because you are obedient not because they are just and right

White man good, dark men big huge scary

This fight has been going on for decades and decades and it will go on after you and I are gone and America will be better for it

Yeah, it has and it'll go on for a long time. Long enough for the... rebels to realize they won't win.

You have to be a player IN the system before you can have a tiny hope of changing it.

I partially agree. you do need the diplomatic spotted elk's of the world but as we've seen throughout time we also need the crazy horses of the world to stick a middle finger in the eye of injustice systems because without them authority feels far too safe and authority should always fear the people in one way or another
