A bullet in Craig Cobbās head would be too kind.
āIt sucks that as a 20-something-year-old woman, whoās like a millennial whoās always been told their entire life ājust be you,ā that thatās not the case for some people,ā Brown said in the video while tearing up.
You have to prepare your children for the way the world is, not the way itās supposed to be. Iāve seen a lot of millennials with so much hope and promise, go into the real world and 6 months later they feel dejected. What she will learn is that life is just a competition for resources. Unfortunately that competition has been divided along racial and gender lines.

Somehow, the conversation has been turned around that we have to be tolerant of these d-baggers. But what liberals are asking for with tolerance is minorities and other people previously shut out of the system should be allowed in. It is not a tactic to allow people who would shut the rest of us out back in again.

āYou learn about civil rights and all that stuff, how far weāve come. But we havenāt.ā
Sure we have. A hundred years ago, Craig Cobbās attitudes were close to universal. Hell, āyou better not send a negroā was the explicit policy of the Wilson administration. We still have far to go, but weāve come a hell of a long way.

Well, now, this is when I regret we pretty much did away with involuntary commitment for folks like Cobb. I am a white female and most of us have progressed far past this asshole. Keep your chin up, young woman, you are in the right here.

With all due respect, and maybe Iām missing the snark on your part, and if so, I apologize, but, after I read your comment, my first thought was this young woman was berated by a racist asshole of the highest order, makes an assertion under duress, and your first instinct is to correct her? To what end? I suppose Iām askingā¦whatās your point?
The way I interpreted this comment was in a āthe more things change, the more they stay the sameā context.

My point is that it trivializes the experience of people in the past to say that nothing has changed. You correctly point out that āthis young woman was berated by a racist asshole of the highest orderā; had she lived a hundred years ago, virtually EVERY WHITE PERSON SHE HAD EVER MET would have been a racist asshole of the highest order. It diminishes the tremendous progress that people have valiantly fought for over decades and centuries to blithely suggest that nothing has changed.
