mattieboy123:I’m literally watching my country go from being The Land of the Free to being a very ugly place in which to live. And that sucks. The thing that most fucking terrifies me is the 1968 part. 50 years ago. My dad was stationed in North Carolina in 1967 (sent to Korea in 68) and remembers the cross burnings. Every weekend. 50-51 years ago IS NOT VERY LONG AGO and this shit belongs in the dustbin of history. I’d like to say I don’t understand how 70some years ago our government was dedicated to destroying Nazis and now it says they deserve to be part of “both sides”. I want to say I don’t know how this happens, but I do know. And as an American history teacher it makes my blood boil.People who want my friends to die don’t deserve to have any speech. When stuff lile this is tolerated, it’s no longer the Land of the Free I was taught it was. Why I have to live in a country that seems not much different from 50, 150, years ago is what’s killing me. -- source link
