at least 466 people have been killed by police so far in 2015. That is about 1 person every 7.5 hours. How exactly do you think this is acceptable? Why does it only matter to you when corrupt governments are killing citizens at terrifying rates when it happens in some other country?

400 people were killed just in Chicago just in the month of May this year. Black people are violent. It doesn’t surprise me at all, then, that the police find themselves in violent situations with blacks.

And I noticed this is a very "right wing versus left wing" type blog... not everything has to be one or the other you know...

Yeah, that’s why my blog isn’t about “everything.” I post about left vs. right topics. That’s what political blogs are.

that thing you reblogged with the "I hate tumblr" tag. That's funny, considering you don't understand how statistics work yourself.

(Anon is referring to this post.)

So you actually believe that if one out of 20 people is the victim of a crime, 19 out of 20 people are criminals? That’s your understanding of “how statistics work”?

If you hate tumblr so much, why are you here?

Where else am I so easily going to have fun with liberals’ offense?

The problem with casting roles for characters who are not white with white actors is that it takes roles away from actors who actually are of that ethnicity. In turn, they get stuck in minor roles that only serve to supplement the story of the white lead, or with stereotyped roles. For example, in A Beautiful Mind, casting Jennifer Connelly as John Nash’s wife, Alicia, who is from El Salvador, serves no purpose other than to rob a Hispanic woman of a strong role.

Oh no, we can’t rob someone of a role they “deserve”!

Yeah, I’m against casting whites to play colored characters as well, but not because it’s “unfair”; I just believe the original creator’s characters shouldn’t be tampered with.

Deportation is a crime. A government can’t forcibly evict thousands from their homes with no arrest warrants and send them away with no due process of law. You can't declare a person's very existence to be a crime just so you can get rid of racial or sexual minorities just because you don't like them.

"Deportation is a crime."

No it isn’t.

"A government can’t forcibly evict thousands from their homes with no arrest warrants and send them away with no due process of law."

I know. In a right country, there would be laws against certain things, and the cases of the people who break those laws would be looked at thoroughly and dealt with individually. Due process and all that.

"You can’t declare a person’s very existence to be a crime…."

Their existence alone would not be a crime, so you’re arguing with nobody.

Your country is ~70% Christian and 1/3 creationist, how is it hard to admit to being a "Bible-believing Christian?" With all due respect, this comes off as a persecution complex.

Because all America’s institutions oppress Christians and endorse homosexuality.

Why in the loving fuck do you care about what other people wear? Jesus Christ ..

Why do you care why I care?
