I remember going to one of his rallies when I was like 6 or 7 with my parents and remember it was a huge deal when he became president, people seemed happy about it. I'm curious to ask my parents now what it was.

Dude sounds scummy AF from that wiki page though.

For real. I am Mexican and was a child through his presidency and I had no idea he was a CEO of coca cola lmao.

Mr Kellam said: “They saw Johnson with the bag of potatoes and in women’s clothing. [He was wearing a bra over his shirt]

“It may be this that led officers to believe that he was intoxicated.”

lgbtq people received the right to hold a job (2020)

Sorry, I'm not from the US can you explain what you mean by this? LGBTQ+ people have legally had jobs in the US for longer than that....

If I'm understanding what you're trying to ask, yes, there are a lot of people with indigenous heritage especially in California/texas/etc (places that until the Mexican-American war belonged to mexico) and they're now considered Latino (which I think is what you mean by "Hispanic".

It should be noted that not all Latin American people are Hispanic (e.g. some speak portuguese), yet many share similar cultures and looks because they are all descendents of indigenous peoples that were colonized.

It's happening in the US to Native Americans that they'll be confused for "illegal aliens"(I hate this term but it's what they call them) and they'll have their American identity questioned, simply because they look like Mexicans or other Latin American people because, like I said, we've all descended from the indigenous peoples of this continent.

Just as an FYI, many Latin American folks don't like to be referred to as Hispanic because a) not all are, and b) that is the name of the people that conquered us.

Yeah it's possible, but what I remember from the other post is about her calling him a loser or useless or something along those lines, so I think she's just very controlling.

I have you tagged from an older post and remember your mom saying some whack ass shit in another post you made. Headphones won't make you deaf unless you're absolutely blasting your music at full volume.

I hope you're feeling better soon and not letting her shit get you down. You got this.

Def not in the show. Doubt the person who made the meme has ever even seen the show tbh

Same with indigenous people on turtle island (north america).

I'd argue that it doesnt really count since the concept of 'country' though is more colonial in its origins so realistically, a 'country' wouldn't exist until after colonization in these areas.

Nations might've existed with different groups/tribes/villages sharing a culture, but the concepts of clear-cut borders, strict land ownership, and nationalism (which to me are a requirement for the concept of a "country") are significantly different in many indigenous cultures as compared to colonial states. Maybe with the exception of some Latin American empires? Though I don't know enough about those empires to be confident in that.

You look nice! And side note, I spent far too long trying to figure out why you had merged 3 pictures together before I realized that was a mirror :(
