I cannot believe there are people still mad about Jackie Robinson. Do you people not have actual problems?
There are people still mad about the end of slavery.
These are simple minds that believe “having to look at something they don’t like” is a great oppression, which is why they want to keep their civil war statues up and cover their cars with stickers and flags.
My guess is this is a response to the removal of Confederate statues.
I thought they hated participation trophies.
They're the ones that invented participation trophies. They love to put that on millennials, but I don't think 6 year old Timmy went to the trophy store and bought a couple dozen trophies for his losing team.
They still rep confederate battle flag and cling to their statues. They even built their own Mt Rushmore in Georgia. They absolutely love trophies for losers
Sure see a lot of Boomers wearing the Vietnam participation awards every day
I think it's a little different when you're a slave soldier yourself
“Oh I get it now. White people don’t have problems so they have to invent them.” - Mike Tyson (in Mike Tyson Mysteries)
Man, I was thinking the exact same thing!
They're mad about any person with skin colour that doesn't match their preference.
