It is frickin' unreal how the "Old Timey Rleigion" nutjobs want to dicriminate against people for being who they are. Sad & sickening. I hate seeing stuff like this. It's 2020 and these people STILL want to romanticize an era that was okay with turning hoses on people and open discrimination? Cro magnum & outdated ways of thinking.
Bravo to Wells Fargo - that's our bank. Good to know they're evolved. Our area is incredibly divided and we can "feel" the tension when we go out sometimes. We try to just keep our heads down and exercise our rights by voting and where we choose to spend our money.
I just don't see how people that are so full of hatred, willfull ignorance and intolerance can claim to know the first thing about what Jesus was truly about or what God's will is.

Ugh. I've had people make Jewish jokes around me. When they elbow me with "funny, right?" and I tell them I'm Jewish, they say I don't look it. Ahhh, got it: no big nose, no glasses, no dark bushy hair, not monetarily stingy. And on.Bentleyspop said:Well of course they didn't like him.

And, being a fair-skinned women of Persian and German descent, I've also been subjected to many Middle-Eastern stereotypical comments guised as humor.
Once I rejected a job applicant for doing that, told her why, and it felt fucking GREAT.
That said, I've been known to make similar jokes about my family. But I'm allowed
