Engaging you is a waste of time. I’m going to wait ten minutes to give you time to see this, then I’m blocking you.

Ignorance like this does not deserve a voice. ~ @KirstenPowers Dear white people who are upset that you can’t dress up as another race or culture for Halloween: your feelings don’t matter. The only feelings that matter are of those who feel disrespected/mocked by you appropriating their culture for entertainment. Show some common decency. ~ @CountDankulaTV Dear Kirsten,Why are you promoting an event that was appropriated from my culture?

I look upon myself as a man. Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.” When asked by Viereck if he considered himself to be a German or a Jew. “What Life Means to Einstein: An Interview by George Sylvester Viereck” The Saturday Evening Post (26 October 1929) “All these motives made me into a passionate pacifist and anti-militarist. I am against any nationalism, even in the guise of mere patriotism. Privileges based on position and property have always seemed to me unjust and pernicious, as did any exaggerated personality cult.

All we ever heard was “AP Study”. How many of those applications did AP review? How does AP know that 70% (a nice round number) were black people? These stories are uncritically accepted by the national media, which love to post Honey Boo Boo stories about Georgia elections. ~ Merriam Webster has a feature, time traveler.

One night, we told this young lady to meet us at the Krystal. She went to the Krystal on Ponce. We were very worried. I stood in front of the Peachtree Krystal, waiting for her to show up. At that time, 645 Peachtree was a bar that showed movies. ~ pictures for this pointless regurgitation that nobody is going to read are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah
