minus-square@Mango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-1•2 months agoWhat the fuck can I do about long dead guy and his long dead mistress? Shit’s over with. Focus on today.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink0•2 months agoYou can remember her. Like you can remember other people who were part of the black history of America. Or are you saying black history isn’t important?
minus-square@Mango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-1•2 months agoI’m saying history isn’t important. Don’t fuckin race bait me. I live in the now.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink1•2 months agoThis is what you said after I tried to tell you who Sally Hemmings was: What the fuck can I do about long dead guy and his long dead mistress?

minus-square@Mango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-1•2 months agoI don’t deify them. I don’t give a shit. What’s consent got to do with anything? I don’t particularly consent to having someone story imposed on my mind. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got today work to do.
