Love it.

Just kinda sucks that your rights are dependent on your zip code here in the US.

Minorities have had to deal with this since about the 1500s.

I don't know, I don't think we had zip codes in the 1500s...?

The Spanish brought slaves to Florida in the early 1500s, but I doubt they would ha e been treated the same if they had escaped to other parts of what is now the US.

I mean, personally I'm glad I at least have rights in my state rather than being stuck with the lowest common denominator of bigoted shitbag decision making.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I'm glad for you.

Still shitty that so many in this country don't.
