My ghetto-rasied white sister-in-law that loves Motown & has worn cornrows, would quite literally beat her into a pulp for saying something this stupid within her reach.
And yes mouthy bigots deserve their ass beat, but go ahead & show the rest of us how you are so "progressive" that you stand up for the absolute worse of humanity.
Maybe she needs therapy (and no I'm not defending Rowling, she is trash)
Edit: downvoting therapy, upvoting violence. You people would make your parents proud.
Maybe, but I doubt it would really do anything for her. She's actually not a bad person, but her upbringing means she's not the least bit concerned about going to jail after whipping a bad person's ass.
Yeah I am not saying anger issues make someone "bad" I'm just suggesting they can be dealt with better ways than brutalizing another humam
Rights have never been gained through peaceful protest. There has always had to be enough blood spilled to scare the ever living shit out of those in power for us to gain anything at all.
🆗
You tell 'em, best friend.
which us is your current us ?

If it's a fucking bigot, who cares?
There is a reason that millennia of philosophers have been against violence. Same reason people oppose the death penalty. Boils mostly down to: "what if you're wrong?"
