Triggered: Stories to make you mad.

Even the two women who admit they are teachers...did not know the year we achieved independence.

Lol. I don't even know what to say. And then another person:

"Do you know who we got our independence from?"

"America?"

Hmmm

Forcing these people to sterilize themselves is, I assume, off the table...

TIL: Americans fought in the industrial revolution in order to achieve independence from france.

it was a choice between British rule and French rule. You guys chose neither.

Oh that video pertains. Despite the title(which I did not create) this thread can contain stuff people think is: funny, sad, interesting, and yes people are free to post stuff that legit triggers them. Or it can just be a place to discuss something someone doesn't feel warrants its own specific topic.

But yeah, that is weird to me. They don't seem to be sure what the 4th of july is about. And more than one person seems to think we achieved independence sometime in the 1950s-1960s

Those that said we got it in the middle/late 1900s I just...my disappointment was immeasurable.

We chose to become independent all the way back in 1967.

Show respect.

You mean 1776?

People who remember a bicentennial in 1976 are just like those people who thought Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s or that Sinbad was in the movie Kazaam.

No. Take your propaganda out of this thread.

It's over a month old. Not removed. Not censored in any way.

Someone come say twitter ain't bias 🙂

That's...illegal. That's not protected speech at all. Why isn't the FBI doing something about hate speech and incitement to violence?

Well, to be fair we might feel a little bit differently if we were Native American. 🙂

I asked my older, Cherokee Nation card carrying, sister what she thought about the the Washington Redskins changing their name. She wants them to keep it because the leftists are 'white washing' Native Americans out of everything, destroying all references to them. She sees it as racism from the left.

Never thought of it that way.

My sister is smart AF. Love that lady.

The counter will of course be that "why can't the references not be racist?"

I'm game. Washington Scalpers

Washington Bering Strait Warriors

That's a good point. And I'm okay with Washington Scalpers. That's metal.

Mascot should be an Apache in full warrior garb holding a bloody scalp prop.

Ha! My post was intended to trick you into showing you hate your sister and wish she had been forced to participate in the trail of tears.

I'm triggered only when my sisters are in town. And since they are always in town, I'm triggered 100% of the time. Just non-stop triggering.
