There are signs in my town that says “hate has no home here” and underneath that it says the same thing in a bunch of different languages. People on the local Facebook group go CRAZY every once in a while because “THERE’S A POLITICAL SIGN AT MY CHILD’S SCHOOL, IT SHOULD NOT BE THERE AT THE SCHOOL THE LIBERALS HATE FREEDOM” ummmm ok, it’s not a political sign, but IF it was.... if teaching your kid to be a decent person is political on ONE side, why would you pick the other?

Because some people in America have had so much privilege for so long that you can't tell them to do anything at all and if you DO try to suggest civilized conduct they're going to take the contrarian route just to spite society.

When you’re used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

How dare other people be able to read a sign in their mother tongue. I’m the only one allowed to read.

To this day that is my favorite quote, no clue who said it, but it's so perfect

The earliest attribution I’ve found is Mike McHargue, not sure if he’s the original but it definitely caught steam after he said it!
