I'm concerned that the children and grandchildren of honorable warriors for civil rights have forgotten that the fight was to live in peace together as equals not to exact revenge and use political and social power to minimize the struggle of poverty stricken children that are from parents that don't bow to the pull for power
Unable to take the wins we've been blessed with from the blood sweat tears and suffering of ours parents and grandparents we tarnish their legacies with lies of a country going to shit when in reality they succeeded. Black brown and white came together and improved
You aren't even here and you spit on our ancestors and their honorable victories just so you can play political internet nazi fighter. We are Americans and this country has made unbelievable progress in such a short time.
You and those like you want to compare yourselves to true heroes of history fighting fascism in the modern day? What a disgrace
Republicans are willing to work on criminal justice reform, people are trying to come up with a plan to lessen the suffering that is going to come from automation, people are leaning towards less war
all of this opportunity to do even more good together and you shameless power grabbers that want to control everyone shit on that opportunity to improve even more to exaggerate about a threat that we as Americans have largely already sent packing
White children black children brown children we all mourn when they are harmed and when they lose their lives. These punks in portland will not change that, shitposters online will not change that, all those discords you live in will not change that, edgelords will not change that, stragglers from a dying ideology will not change that
Fuck that. Fuck Antifa

If you want to know what you're talking about I suggest you visit the heart of this country someday
go to the small towns and sit in the community churches, attend the local community events
something I've done while I made my way to the west coast
g'damn there are some good people out there, outside of this internet fuckery and the twitter wars and the forum battles
they take care of each other and aren't sitting around full of hate, they have political views and flaws as we all do but when it comes to community they are as good as it gets
people outside of the country and from only the cities don't know what it's truly like out there or how these people really are
but this would require you to see people as people not pawns and enemies
this would require you to listen to the voices and beliefs of others
the soul of America lives on no matter what the internet and tv cherry picks
the heart still beats and until you make that journey you will never know what this country is really about or the type of people that fill it

People say insensitive things
They believe silly things
We are flawed
The majority do not want harm done to anyone based on race or sexuality or anything of the like. They dont support nazis and they dont support fascism. Are you oblivious to how many of these people are literally from proud military families that fought against it?
People like to stick it to the left and like to poke fun at bleeding hearts like me but they arent nazis fascists and many arent even racists. You have no idea how many white people completely acknowledge how shitty natives were treated. They largely love their perception of our culture. Shit chunks of them claim native blood all the time. They know the wrongs done they just dont like hearing about it all the time. They sure as fuck dont support genocides. The worst they believe is in a lock everyone up way of justice and tough enforcement but even that is heading in the right direction
Conservatives are significantly more interested in shitting on the left and libs than any race or sexuality etc
And that's their right to express it doesnt make them anything other than a good old fashioned shit talker, not anything worse
