250 years ago our greatest grandfathers beat the dogshit out of the most powerful military on the planet over a 3% tax and now we can’t deport 100 million immigrants that hate us because women and gays think it would be mean
When we say faggot, we don’t mean gay, we mean retard.
When we say retard, we don’t mean Down syndrome, we mean liberal.
They’re only words, folks.
It’s the context and the intention that matters, not some liberal committee telling us what we can and can’t say.
The language is ours, not theirs.
Was on a run this morning.
It was hot.
Ran by a construction site.
A few of the laborers asked if I wanted water.
Of course, I accepted.
They asked me about running in this heat. Joked that I should drink beer instead of water.
I ran up to the gas station and bought a 12 pack of Tecates and ran back by the job site.
Gave a few to the laborers, cracked open one, slammed it, and then another.
They all enjoyed their beers as well and genuinely appreciated it.
One of them offered me some fresh tortillas that his abuelita had made to help me fuel the rest of my run.
They were delicious. I was really touched by this gesture. I thought of my grandmother.
On the way home in the heat, I reflected about the opportunities that this country provides and how I understand why others will do anything to get here and I was simply lucky to be born here.
Walking in the door, I was smiling, thinking about my new friends.
People are people.
I immediately grabbed a protein drink from the fridge, sat on the couch, and thought about how there are great people from all walks of life.
Then, I called ICE and told them the address of the construction site.
This is a generational loss of aura for black Americans. No way back from this. Not a single rap song in the Billboard Top 100, and now this dude gets destroyed by an Asian man dressed as Chun Li.
Pack it up. It's over.
