Not voting is a vote for dystopia.

Donald Trump did a shout out to O.J. Simpson at this rally. He said his golfing friend was there.

When my sister sold her home, she had her white realtor come to show the appraiser around. She LEFT HER OWN HOME during the process. Right now, my college friend is removing all signs of Blackness from her home before she puts it on the market. All art, photos, statues are being packed. All books are being turned spine in. THIS IS WHAT RACISM DOES.

@researchbuzz This is good. I always wonder about Detroit.

@gentrifiedrose Yep. If one doesn’t fit into their stereotypical, racist tropes, it’s very confusing for the majority.

@gentrifiedrose I can’t tell you how many times I’ve screamed at people that we’re not a monolithic community.

@pelielios White realtors wouldn’t show my Black parents houses in the neighborhood they wanted to live in. They had to get a Black one to see the houses.

@gentrifiedrose 🤣 These fucking people. Jesus.

@gentrifiedrose White people know a lot of things until they get called out. Then, it’s denial or tears.

@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@gentrifiedrose I can’t with the tears. It’s so fucking juvenile, it disgusts me.

@NovaCora My friend is moving to a different state.

I know this period of time seems like a blur, but the crimeing and coup have been going on for 8 years.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@joeinwynnewood You do. This is a fucking marathon. That much is clear.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@Aviva_Gary It is longer, but the last 8 are indisputable.

At the beginning of this saga, I thought white people would be so angry at being treated in your face badly, that they wouldn’t put up with it. I think my miscalculation was thinking what was in your face would be seen and that the blindness would be willful to the point of suicidal.

StillIRise1963,

@Aviva_Gary I find it remarkable.

At first, I was really insulted by the stupidity of the lies being told. Then, I understood they had so much disdain for ALL of us, that we were all so fucking insignificant, that they didn’t even feel the need to make sense.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@Aviva_Gary This is true too. They’re just saying it out loud now.

What makes going out to eat in the U.S. much less fun is the fact that your time is limited. The table has to turn over to someone else after the allotted time and I hate it. I don’t appreciate people telling me I have to go.

@Aviva_Gary It was always that way where I live. I went to lunch in MA last summer. It was inside (which I really didn’t want to do, but I caved to peer pressure) and they told us to hurry up and finish before the next seating.

@billyjoebowers I’m not in a good eat outside place. They exist, but in an unnatural way.

@rythur I get that it’s hard to pay the rent, pay the bills and turnover is necessary, but like you said, it’s not very hospitable.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@Aviva_Gary I said nothing because I hadn’t seen this friend in a million years and didn’t want to make a scene, but wtf. I gulped down the coffee I was drinking with dessert and payed the bill.🙄

My dog spends 3 days a week with my parents from 10a - 6p. They pet her and cater to her needs all day long. They even give me behavioral reports when I pick her up. Now, this dog expects everyone to be at her beck and call.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@Aviva_Gary The dog is really spoiled, but I end up doing exactly what she wants. I figure since none of us can have what we want, she should.

The guy got into office COMMITTING CRIMES and has NEVER STOPPED COMMITTING THEM and he somehow HAS PAID NO PRICE.

@lin11c Something is very wrong for all these things to NOT be happening all these years later.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@lin11c Exactly. 8 fucking years. Right.

@CStamp Yeah, but the $90M isn’t painful. I’m sure someone will pick up that tab. And, me too! Not one part of his process has been like any normal person. It enrages me.
