People always talk about the oppression as ancient history, but it has been perpetual for many groups, not just limited to indigenous. Allotment ran until 1934, giving away native lands. After that they moved to Termination, where they tried to dissolve reservations and negate treaties.

They were my boss. We’d get out the kitchen and go to the bar next door. They weren’t as terrible as they could’ve been, but definitely one of those “I don’t care till it affects me” conservatives.

They let up on the alphabet people jokes after their kid came out, still not an ally.

Believe it or not I’ve had worse more conservative business owners in my career.

I just hope to one day be able to be in business for myself and to stop slaving away for someone else to gain more means to produce.

I've had a boss like that 😬
My condolences. Naturally, he'd only keep his mouth shut for fear of looking like an asshole to his own family. His kid must be "one of the good ones" /s

I'm just gonna redirect my efforts to animals. Cats don't do any of this to each other. Even bats will literally give their food to strangers if they appear to be starving. My cousin is less christian than a vampire bat.

Or led astray by those evil alphabet people! How could they corrupt his poor child?

It is really tiring knowing someone who thinks like that. Like you don't have to get it but, you could at least accept it.
