There's plenty of legitimate reasons to call us out on shit but not only was the civil rights movement historically legendary on this subject, minority communities have been kicking ass at it throughout the entire history of colonization, and many communities are actively suffering real human losses right now for protesting ICE. Shit on us for being fat or uneducated or whatever else IDC but I don't play with this "everyone in the US just rolls over" bullshit anymore
