"You sit next to Trump while he talks about conquering Greenland and lashing out at allies like Spain. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you say nothing?"

The part of the story about George Washington that usually gets ignored is that the people who were enslaved by George Washington hated their condition. Harry Washington escaped from slavery to join the British to fight against his former slave owner. Harry later died as a free man in Sierra Leone. Oney Judge also ran away and evaded the attempts which George Washington made to recapture her.
This isn’t a minor contradiction that should be explained away. It represented the reality that Washington and other slaveholders did not respect the humanity of the people that they enslaved because they did not view Black people as being human.
remember when young people on TikTok discovered the Osama Bin Laden letter to America published on the Guardian site wherein he talks about the Zionist Israeli occupation and destruction of Palestine fully backed by the US creating resentment in the entire region, it went viral, and then the Guardian responded by deleting the article and TikTok banned any mention of it?
It’s always the imaginary/“what if” attacks with these people, whilst Palestinians and Lebanese people are literally being slaughtered and Islamophobia is on a rapid rise! “We don’t approach people in parking lots, but Zionists go to peaceful protests to attack, spit on people and threaten them with rape, ok.
"Your grandmas were happier back whe–" My grandma, God rest her soul, had nine kids and constantly reminded them of how much of a burden they were, of how much she never wanted so many of them. I didn't know these details until just a few years ago. When I asked the relative relaying this info why she had so many if she didn't want to, the relative went quiet. I knew the answer already but wanted to see if/how she'd verbalize the ugly truth. Such is the story of so many of our grandmas from South Asia to Southern Europe.
When one of her sons grew up, he spent his entire adulthood for as long as she lived making up for the burden he felt he was on her by doting on her and neglecting his own wife, whom his mother resented despite him not having chosen her (it was an arranged marriage).

Abigail Disney famously shared what happened to her dad when he began flying private:
"So all of the sudden, we went from being comfortable, upper-middle-class people to suddenly my dad had a private jet. That's when I feel that my dad really lost his way in life..."
"If I were queen of the world, I would pass a law against private jets, because they enable you to get around a certain reality. You don't have to go through an airport terminal, you don't have to interact, you don't have to be patient, you don't have to be uncomfortable. These are the things that remind us we're human"
