Unpopular fact: minimum wage was conceived to be the minimum amount of money a person would need to support themselves and their families when working 40 hours per week.

Unpopular fact: minimum wage was created because working men and women in this nation fought–figuratively in the negotiating room and literally in the streets–for a fair working wage, with sweat and blood and tears and death.

Unpopular fact: military service personnel are not the only people who have fought and died for your rights as American: labor leaders and common workers laid down their lives so that you could have a 40 hour work week instead of 80 hours; so you could have a 2 day weekend instead of none; so you could have lunch and bathroom breaks instead of going hungry and shitting your pants,; so you could have a three day weekend in September.

In a country where young black men are still being gunned down for no goddamn reason. Where the president is a heinous racist. Where hate crimes are rising. We NEED Sam Wilson as Captain America. 

Young black boys deserve to see themselves represented in a kind, compassionate, genuine, strong, amazing character like Sam Wilson. 

Sam Wilson is the Captain America we need right now.
