    She wants to fuck a horse?

    (Yes, I know that’s pretty much been debunked.)

    Well
    I’m pretty sure it isn’t the horse’s idea.

    When I was in middle school, I had a temper. A couple times a black teacher deservedly scolded me, and for some reason I shouted “you’re racist!” Our school was quite diverse, but I came from a heavily white neighborhood. In hindsight he should’ve belted me, but he kept his cool.

    One time I went on a tantrum, he looked at me and told me: “You have no clue what racism is. You didn’t grow up in the projects of Newark.” He would’ve come of age during the late 1960s protests/riots across the country. I had little context of what he meant, but I quickly shut up. Learning what I’ve learned since, I want to head into a time machine and give that kid many slaps upside the head.

    Years later, this punk turned adult realizes how tremendously stupid, pathetic and possibly hurtful those comments were.

    The story about the woman on the plane who refused to wear a mask equating herself to Rosa Parks is what made this come to mind. If you’re older than 6 and you make such a stupid statement, you should be flogged in public.
