@MickeyBitsko22@ClubShayShay@neiltyson simply talks about very recent history. This is the definition of false equivalence. Not one time did NDT "Bitch and moan" about anything.
@MickeyBitsko22@ClubShayShay@neiltyson This might be the dumbest tweet I've ever read. No pilgrims had an issue and were discrimated because they of their immutable characteristics. SOME were religious zealots and England wouldn't let them kill people they thought were witches. Stop making comparisons when someone
@SimulatedLion@laflameclipping If this company isn't publicly traded and its not owned by a POC, then it would be considered white owned. If it is publicly traded then the company or person that owns the majority of the shares is own or run by majority or totally by non POC then its white owned.
🚨 “Chimping out.” That’s what Patrick Scott Barnes heard while quietly eating and reading at his regular restaurant in Sanford, Florida.
The Black man was minding his own business in a booth when a group of white men at a nearby table kept staring. One of them used the racist slur loud enough for him to hear. When Patrick confronted them, one immediately started apologizing because he realized he was being recorded. Another threatened to get Patrick fired from his job.
Then the guy in the hat jumped up and threatened to knock Patrick’s glasses off his face.
That’s when the recording started.
Later that same day, a restaurant representative who wasn’t even working tracked Patrick down at his job. She had seen the footage, knew him as a regular, and confirmed he didn’t start anything. She apologized and told him he was welcome back anytime. Patrick accepted.
Racists often only find manners when the camera is rolling and some still try to punish you for simply existing in public.
How many times does this exact scene play out with no camera around? And what does real accountability look like when the only thing that stops it is someone hitting record?
Retired Lt. General @MarkHertling: “I’m sorry for getting emotional, but that comment from @PeteHegseth that diversity is not our strength is bullshit.”
Hertling shows pictures of fallen soldiers to refute Hegseth’s nonsense. Powerful.
