    Right...but it's all about the level of outrage.  To immediately call for her to be fired from anything and be shunned for life...that's the fake outrage that drives me nuts.  
    Seriously, there is more outrage in America right now directed towards Kathy Griffin for an offensive photo than there is for real beheadings of homosexuals and women who were raped in the middle east.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Or for Chrisitians killing Muslims in Africa.

    Or for Muslims killing Christians in Africa, for that matter. Nobody really cares what happens over there in general as far as I can tell. But a stupid photo with a prop in it sends people into a tizzy. It's ridiculous. And what's going on with that Russia investigation thing? Who knows? Who cares? Everyone is too busy being upset with Kathy fucking Griffin. Trump should be giving her a medal, not condemning her, lol.

    Losers shouldn't have statues erected and be glorified. They're losers. They lost.
    Tear down the Wall in DC for the Vietnam War then.  See how that goes for you.
    Vietnam was a US led war that was fought on behalf of the US, whether you agreed with it or not. Jefferson Davis was a loser who tried to cleeve the nation in two. False comparison.
    Nice revisionist history.

    Why do you need to qualify that by using words like white and male?

    Personally I can be proud of the person I am, but I don't tie it to my gender or race....cause that's fucked up.

    You were born white. You were born male. Since those things were handed to you, why on earth would you be proud of them? They aren't accomplishments.

    Literally no one is saying you should be ashamed or feel guilty.
    Those are concepts you (and your ilk) created when you couldn't confront the idea that society has endowed you with benefits that others don't have, because it's easier to mock ideas that make you uncomfortable than to address them seriously.
