Woooow that’s illegal
Yeah, my school disgusts me sometimes.
Can someone say illegal hiring practices?
So is questioning someone’s sexual history like TMI Tuesday? If I apply will there be random grey-faces trolling me?
Personally, I would go to the interview and outline an extraordinary sexual history in excruciating detail, possibly with a powerpoint presentation and diagrams; that time there were three of us naked on the flying trapeze, my involvement in the world’s largest naked conga line, that time on Splash Mountain…. just to watch their narrow minded little heads explode.
This is honestly the best comment I’ve ever read and I just need this on my blog to keep me from raging over the picture.
I will never, EVER, buy a thing from Chick-fil-a again. This is quite disgusting.
This is a joke right? This has to be a fucking joke.
I can tell you this is not a joke. Chick-Fil-A is a very Christian company and they support a lot of horrible anti-gay organizations.
That being said, this flyer was probably not approved by the heads of Chick-Fil-A and the managers of this particular branch are using Chick-Fil-A’s Christian affiliations to abuse their own power here.

Many sitcoms we’ve known and loved ( or hated) over the years have had crazy spinoffs. Some succeeded, most did not.
Religions derivative of much older, more established faiths are like sitcom spinoffs. As we know, the more spinoffs of one particular base sitcom there are the crazier and stupider each successive one is… especially spinoffs of spinoffs.
If Judaism was like Happy Days, early Christian sects - Catholicism and Orthodoxy - would be like Laverne & Shirley. And then Jehovah’s Witnesses would be like Joanie Loves Chachi.
And then of course Mormonism would be like Mork & Mindy.

BLACK WALL STREET is not a record label started by The Game.
Black Wall Street was the most prosperous black community in America during the 1920’s located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was known as “Little Africa” or “Black Beverly Hills”, a prime example of racial nationalism. To put into perspective of how money flowed in Black Wall Street, a dollar took 365 DAYS to leave the community, now a dollar leaves an African American Community every 15 MINUTES. The community had hundreds of businesses all negro owned and their motto was “To educate every child”.
June 1, 1921 white supremacists bombed BLACK WALL STREET and killed over 3000 people and destroyed over 600 businesses. 21 churches, 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores, a hospital, bank, post office, and most schools were destroyed. The dead were buried in unmarked graves. It wasn’t till 1997 that Oklahoma decided to pass the “1921 Race Riot Reconciliation Act” which provided decedents of that area a free college education.

READ THIS. They for sure aren’t teaching this in school. Tell your babies. Share with your students.
For all those “BOOTSTRAPS” bastards.
reblogging for history that i was never taught
As many people were killed that day as on 9/11 and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
Reblogging again for that last comment because I’m in the same boat. I had NEVER heard of this before, and the numbers are the same. I wonder why that is.
And this isn’t the only place something like that happened.
I went to Booker T. Washington H.S. in Tulsa, OK, one of the few buildings that survived the riot, and I feel like this was mentioned maybe once, and incredibly briefly. Nobody wants to talk about this shit. If you try to look back and find old articles about it, you’ll find they’ve been expunged from those old (white-owned) newspapers. And the original reported death toll was something like 26 black people and 13 white people, which is ridiculous. They buried people in mass graves. They dropped bombs on them. They rounded up Greenwood residents at gunpoint and put them in detention centers, some say for protection, but not everybody believes that. Although, with white rioters out committing murder, burning every building in sight and looting businesses and homes, Greenwood was suddenly the least safe place ever to be a black person. Dr. A.C. Jackson was one of the most prominent black physicians in America at the time and he was shot outside his house.
And nobody wants you to know how many people died. The official death toll is still 39. But I’ve read 300, 3000, 3900. Thousands of people were rendered homeless. And the Greenwood district is still there, but it’s no thriving community.
And you know what started it? Aside from a white girl shrieking and a black guy running away? The newspapers ran a story about how there was gonna be a lynch mob outside the courthouse. And the shit of it is, there doesn’t seem to be any indication that there was going to be a lynch mob before the story ran.
But I guess the sick and disgusting truth of it is if hadn’t been that newspaper story it probably would have been something else. At the time of the riot, Tulsa had 3200 Klan members and a thriving black community who dared to succeed in life. Seriously, there were some black people in town who had more money than some white people that was what fueled so much of the violence and looting. How dare they.
Wow. They don’t teach you THIS in history class.

It has occurred to me lately that even as organized religion is being criticized heavily lately from many sides and science has been increasingly making it irrelevant, instead of relenting it is digging its heels in further. With books like “God is Not Great” by the recently-late and great Christopher Hitchens, “The God Delusion” by the venerable Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris’ “The End of Faith” the message against the foolishness and danger of organized religion to society has become more accessible and out there. But the enterprise of organized religion still has shields up (although weakened) and some photon torpedoes left in its armory. Quite a siege has been thrust at it but still the vast majority of human beings subscribe to one of the three predominant “desert dogmas” as Pat Condell likes to affectionately refer to them as.
I propose that maybe it’s time freethinkers THINK about sending in some Trojan Horses to get past religion’s defenses. It could be a Twitter account that at first appears to be from an evangelical fundie that begins to turn after garnering thousands of “followers” in more than one sense of the word. Or could be a person who has gained a clerical position or a person who has started his or her own church. Whatever the case the plan would be to eventually start, very subtly and tactfully, lead the followers to freethinking waters, hoping they’ll drink. In other words, start asking questions, letting the congregation answer them themselves. For example, even while still seeming to support Creationism in principle, one could start asking questions during sermons or tweets that craftily still seems to be with the idea but is slowly undermining it.
Well it’s just an idea to consider. Maybe we can end - or at least make more private - organized religion a lot sooner than a few centuries from now, if we work from the inside out rather than the outside in.
