I need to keep a list. 

I just found out about this man, Hugh Thompson. 

He essentially halted the rape and murder orgy by American soldiers at the village of My Lai in Viet Nam during the Vietnam War by placing his chopper between the civilians and his own soldiers and telling them he’d mow their asses down if they continued the onslaught. He then flew the survivors to military hospitals for care. At least 500 Vietnamese non-combatants were brutally murdered at My Lai by US soldiers before Thompson intervened. 

He was vilified by the Army and many of the American people for publicly exposing the Army’s actions at My Lai, and spent the rest of his life with ptsd, alcoholism, and severe nightmare disorder that contributed to his divorce. In other words, his own life was basically ruined by his heroic compassion. He died about 12 years ago at the age of 62 of cancer, and is buried in Lafayette, Louisiana, with full military honors.

A lesbian couple was beaten up by a group of five men in what police are calling a hate crime. Sabrina Hooks, 26, and her girlfriend Morgan were eating at a Jack in the Box in Los Angeles on October 29 when the group of men walked in and started insulting them, calling Hooks “dyke” and making fun of how she was dressed.

“They said, you know, I’m a dyke and I’m gay and, you know, I had to keep my ‘hoe in check’ and just… for no reason,” Hooks said. Then the altercation became physically violent. “The big guy who walked in first came from behind me and knocked me out for a little bit,” Hooks said. Then the four other men joined in and kicked Hooks.

The women say that no one at the restaurant tried to help them or called 911. Morgan had to rush her girlfriend to the hospital herself. Hooks was left with a bruised face, a missing front tooth, and possibly permanent damage to her left eye.

“It makes me want to cry every single time I look at her,” Morgan told KABC.

Police say that they have not made an arrest yet in what they are investigating as a hate crime. They said that the victims gave good descriptions of the aggressors, and there is security camera footage to help identify the attackers.

In case you were wondering what kind of person Devin Patrick Kelley was. 

He was kicked out of the Air Force for assaulting his wife and kid, and this was the kind of thing he regularly posted on facebook. 

If you at all monitor your language based on your audience—avoiding curse words in front of kids, using bigger words in front of your boss—you obviously care about the impression your words give people. 

Do you avoid talking about the attractive sex after your bestie’s breakup? Congratulations, friend, you’re being a decent human being.

Your friend wishes you call them Charlie instead of Charlotte. It’s just a nickname. Would you say “No, your birth certificate says Charlotte so I’m calling you Charlotte?”

Your co-worker tells you that he gets extremely uncomfortable when you clap him on the shoulder, due to a creepy uncle who did the same thing. Do you make a point to clap him on the shoulder every time you see him?

It is really not that difficult to be “politically correct.” It does not mean that you must eliminate all opinions completely, it merely means—at a basic level—that you should attempt to be aware of your audience and how your words and actions affect them. 

sorry

JUST FUCKING LISTEN. 

THIS IS HALLOWEEN BUT NOT LIKE YOU KNOW IT

also an addendum to the hunger games slide, when they put out a casting call for the role of Katniss, they specifically asked for only caucasian actors to audition, which left out any possibility for any amazing PoC actors to have been discovered.
