@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F Peace of mind. That idea of safety. And sure, that helps, I imagine. In my field of work, protection, it requires a level of confidence in your ability to commit violence. I legally own guns. Those are peace of mind but in the immediate.
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F I was originally referring to timeline and country history. Idc that you're Hispanic. Didn't change anything I've said or would say.
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F I knew you were Hispanic because of your profile name. And my ancestors were enslaved a hell of a lot longer ago than when the last slave was freed in America. My people have some protection now because we're magically considered white as of the 1970s.
@Chrisfranco_17 @JaysGotNext Dude, it's America. Where there is a large group of white people, you're gonna get racism. Boston's racism is overblown when you compare it to everywhere else. They're all racist dude. Hispanics in Miami are some of the most racist actually. So please about Boston.
@alby_henrie@JaysGotNext No Celtic has called to be publicly traded. Can't say that about nearly any other franchise. Our superstars love Boston. Cousy, Russell, Bird, McHale, Pierce, KG, JT, and JB.
To the Celtics, the city and my brothers: Thank you for your belief in me and support through all of our seasons of basketball and life. I’m beyond grateful to have been a part of this organization & will forever have love for the people that surrounded me in this experience💚☘️
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F I've had enslaved ancestors and genocided ancestors, too. I don't want reparations for you or me. I'm simply saying you shouldn't be so drunk on your daily schedule's safety. Everything is okay if I just do my 9 to 5 and get drunk at the pub on my weekends.
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F My ancestor came here via indentured servitude in the late 1600s. I don't dwell on it, but I'm cognizant of it. To be willfully ignorant of where things could return is being goofy.
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F The government discriminates against you now. Not just for being Hispanic but for being working class. It didn't just evaporate. It changed to be more industrial and corporate. I'm Irish. I wasn't white until half a century ago.
A California man caught covid at work. He infected his wife who ended up in ICU. So he sued his bosses. The largest lobbying group in the US got involved. The court ruled against the man because a victory would mean “dire financial consequences for employers.” Is it clear yet?🧵
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F And then when you're not in the way it's whichever white group isn't the equal of the day. I don't want it to get there so maybe don't be a racist, not saying you specifically are, now so you don't get shit on later.
@rickthedad1980@Mew_Nusvi @RyansKeg @InternetH0F You're Hispanic. You only get treated with more respect than natives and black people because you're nominally white. Wait until black people and native people aren't in the way anymore how quick you become them.
