      Man who genuinely struggles with life in a mansion in Calabasas, thinks he’d be a revolutionary during slavery. OK.pic.twitter.com/L0YF71kEzD

      The greatest indicator of who you'd be during slavery or any previous era is who you are right now. If today you find yourself kissing the ass and wearing the hat of the bigoted leader, THAT'S who you'd be in previous generations.

          So many elders from the Civil Rights Movement told me that people should never assume who they'd be under the pressure of previous generations. It's disrespectful. And that if you aren't fighting for civil/human rights NOW you damn sure wouldn't be doing it in the 1850s/1950s

          When people make claims about what they would, or wouldn't have done, during the civil rights movement, that are different from what they are doing today, remind them that the movement never ended and they have just been apathetically standing on it's neck.

          I hate when people go on about hypothetical heroics. This is like Trump saying he'd run into a building with an active shooter and his base fawning and proclaiming "He's so brave!" Only in his own mind.

          Wasn't slavery already abolished - at least in paper - in 1870 (148 years ago)? Is he saying he would have led a really delayed uprising, or have been late to his trip on the underground railroad?
