@NorCalHKYplayer@dantypo This coming from the people offended by Bud Light commercials, Mr. Potato Head, M&Ms, the WNBA, the NFL & Super Bowl half time shows. The list goes on.
Heaven forbid somewhere wear the wrong Halloween t-shirt. You guys lose your mind.
@RonLee06762580@ShameTheRich@DickBeard79@tanyaelisabethh There is no evidence he was racist. Saying he got the “White girl” doesn’t mean he got her BECAUSE she was White. He’s describing who he got. He didn’t just become mentally ill. And the judge who released him did so b/c he had just been arrested for a non-violent offense.
@LaughlandMorgan@StanleyRidgley “Black people have been taught…” This coming from the same ppl upset abt Bud Light commercials & who performed at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Heaven forbid someone tell a joke abt CK or wear the wrong t-shirt.
So I guess only White people get to be offended by stuff right?
@Popeye_Saylor@Ronaldjohn75c@IvyMarine1908@MikenzieFrost I think part of the problem is some are suggesting if you never directly engaged the enemy, you’re not a “combat veteran”. The problem with that is that’s not the military’s definition. But your distinction between combat vet and vet of combat is reasonable.
@USMCWarMachine@Hoobachuck@AlxWrghtTwtr Yes. Someone who never served in is not a veteran. Not sure why that’s hard to understand.
If the contractor was prior service & never deployed, but deployed as a contractor, he’s not a combat “vet”.
The key word is “veteran” which you seem to have a hard time understanding.
@KenzieScarlett_ “If a White person called a Black person and said…” Are you serious? It happens to Black people all the time & never makes the news.
Cry harder.
@USMCWarMachine@Hoobachuck@AlxWrghtTwtr We don’t call any civilian a “veteran” whether they served in a combat zone or not. Veterans, by definition, are former members of the military. Which civilians are not. So civilians could never be “combat veterans”.
@arctyp_cmputing@wil_da_beast630@OleMiss Keep the same energy when someone points their finger at their neck & makes fun of CK.
It’s funny how ppl want to pick and choose what other people are offended by based on their personal feelings.
@Popeye_Saylor@Ronaldjohn75c@IvyMarine1908@MikenzieFrost You responded to me after I gave my definition and suggested I “read the room.” The implication being you disagreed with my perspective. What’s weird is you claim to be a “professional of combat” but have yet to provide your definition.
Why not just say what you mean?
@Popeye_Saylor@Ronaldjohn75c@IvyMarine1908@MikenzieFrost The point is over your head. People have mortars dropped on them, escape VBIEDs, travel through minefields but according to you they’re not combat vets because they never fired a weapon. Combat vet does NOT mean you fired your weapon.
@arctyp_cmputing@wil_da_beast630@OleMiss Monkeying around illustrates the sentiment. That you’re not aware that Blacks have been dehumanized & stigmatized for centuries in this country by being called “apes” speaks volumes of your lack of knowledge of US history. “Monkeying around” isn’t limited to monkey noises.
@arctyp_cmputing@wil_da_beast630@OleMiss The residents nor the university is equating Black people to monkeys. Equating Black people to monkeys is a centuries old stereotype of Blacks. That’s why she did it. Ask yourself. Of ALL the animals, why monkey noises? 🤔
@randalflagsuper@Africanis@wil_da_beast630@erichsussman@OleMiss Her mother already stated that she told her she confronted the girls. They lived upstairs. They asked them to stop making too much noise above them. Later, they came down and made gorilla noises. They knew who they were addressing.
@Ronaldjohn75c@IvyMarine1908@MikenzieFrost That’s incorrect. Any service member deployed to a combat zone is a combat veteran whether or not they fired their weapon.
Facts don’t care about your feelings.
