The idea of the First Amendment was groundbreaking. Never before had a government given its citizens the right to say whatever they wanted to saying which can include criticizing the government. It was brilliant; it was going to pave the road for a utopian society where everyone was free! Well except the slaves, of course the land free can’t go without slaves. People hold the founding fathers in high regard as great men of their time. To be honestly if there is a hell those mother f****ers are roasting alive. They didn’t make a land of the free; they made the land of the we, which didn’t included my brown ass.
That Founding Fathers’ privilege has found its way into a new generation. A generation that believes it has the right to post insanely offensive homemade shirts. A generation who throws parties celebrating a man who public spreads hate. The SAE Trump party was a modern day Hitler youth shindig. If you compared the pictures, you no doubtedly would find similarities. It’s white privilege that led someone to throw party about a man who has been compared to countless dictators.
Don’t get me wrong, every human should be free to say whatever they want. That looks amazing on paper, however when you have a country that has a bloody and hateful history as our own then maybe you should not let people lean on the First Amendment as a crutch. Yes, you have the right to say what you want but does that mean you should? If the reasoning behind your hate filled opinions are some racist old men over 200 said you could, then you are a f*****g moron! There is no other way to put it.
I hope this incident opens eyes to anyone that believe racism is dead or that white privilege. This problem is bigger than me but that doesn’t give me the excuse not to fight it.
