Dead threads

From reddit  

Out of This World
Dated a girl for ~4 months a few years back. One day we were chilling at my house, ask her if she wants to watch an episode of Brian Cox’s documentary Wonders of the Universe to which she told me she “doesn’t believe in space”

She was 100% convinced that the sky was all there was and that space was a huge cover-up by the government or some sh*t.

At first, I laughed, then we argued and I couldn’t win because I haven’t been to space to prove it exists.

We didn’t see much of each other after that.

Imagine it's the 1950's, you're in a State that has no human rights laws to protect black people and you're the only person that is standing up for the human rights of black people. 

Imagine if someone told you that because you're the only person talking about it, you're unhinged and shouldn't be talking about it anymore?

Imagine what was done to those people in the 1950's and compare that to how they'd be treated today. 

Do you think all of those people through the ages who joined mobs and condemned White people that stood up for black people apologized for the public smears against the activists? 

What would the correct course of action be in a situation like this? 

Ummmmm, so did you? (Then again, I don't know what a "W" is).

Don't hit me. I am on a blood thinner

Because I thought the analogy was very much worth sharing. 

The post was meant to inspire thought and discussion. Nothing more. 

You should bump this thread again. The irony of a thread on "Dead threads" being....DEAD is priceless.
