Until such time as Kamala Harris hits Tulsi Gabbard with a top-rope exploder in a triple threat match with Elizabeth Warren with special guest referee Barack Obama, every news organization in the entire Unoted States is cordially invited to eat my ass
@LadyYStories @KatyMontgomerie I'm a 5'4" dude and I look average (by American standards). I weigh 5-10 lbs more than that. Anyone 6'+ who weighs less than I do is not going to be much of a physical threat without like, a gun.
(Also they're 100% making it up.)
@beerandsteaks@LakotaMan1 and nb4 the obligatory "don't tell me what I can and can't say something something snowflake." if you want to argue that people can be horrible... I mean, I guess *being* horrible is one way to illustrate it, but you could try to be better instead.
@beerandsteaks@LakotaMan1 okay.
1. stop saying indians
2. yes, humans have the capacity to be horrible, not every culture expresses that identically, and you're projecting modern white imperialist horrible bullshit onto people who didn't have it
@beerandsteaks@LakotaMan1 fuck it I can't help myself: two-spirits were and are absolutely a thing, just like trans women. neither of those are crossdressing. google is your friend. not every culture has same the prejudices or capacity for barbarism that white people do.
@beerandsteaks@LakotaMan1 man it's like I want to give you a history lesson and some cultural insight on how to communicate, because I feel like there's some insensitivity here you're not aware of.
then again I'm guessing if I did, you'd just use that to be more cruel on purpose.
@ScoreSomeElli @BDixon401 @NomeDaBarbarian I imagine clarifying won't stop you from being a smug white dipshit, though. I had to have that impulse physically beaten out of me, I hope you experience the same.
@ScoreSomeElli @BDixon401 @NomeDaBarbarian That said, America has a tradition of ignoring or minimizing the black roots of any genre once it becomes popularized by white performers. See: boogie woogie, country, R&B, rock and to a lesser extent swing.
@JoeRhisga @BDixon401 @NomeDaBarbarian Slaving ships did not originate sea shanties, nor did I imply that they did, aside from contributing to the theft of the human beings who would make sea shanties.
Slaves were heavily forced to work in almost all maritime industries. Including whaling.
@BDixon401 @NomeDaBarbarian There's also a lot of print media that references this (about 3-5 books crop up in more than one of those articles), but they have no ebook presence so I can't do your homework for you on those.
@BDixon401 @NomeDaBarbarian I can't sleep, so here, I demonstrated my capacity to type shit into Google for you.
You're a teacher? You can probably pull up way more shit on JSTOR, I'm just paywalled left and right
