It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 16 - Whites Only

In this day and age, are people really this stupid?  Really?  What would drive a landlord of an apartment complex to post a sign titled, "Public Swimming Pool: White Only"?
Ignorance is what I'd say.  But not for Michael Gunn, a tenant from the same complex.  He wasn't having any of that.  He filed discrimination charges within a matter of days, and had this to say...
“We invited my daughter, who is African-American, to visit and swim in the pool for the Memorial Day weekend,” Gunn wrote in his complaint. “The owner, Jamie Hein, accused my daughter of making the pool ‘cloudy’ because she used chemicals in her hair. Days later, she posted a sign on the gate to the pool which reads, ‘Public Swimming Pool, White Only.’”
Oh... that's okay Ms. Hein of Cincinnati. "It's a historical sign".  LOL , she said this after she was asked about the sign.
"I'm not a bad person, I don't have any problem with race at all. It's a historical sign."
“I’ve never said anything to that child,” Hein said. “If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights. It goes both ways.”
Oh yeah, she's not racist, she's just sticking up for her white rights.

The persecution of the White Conservative Christian Right. Give me a f&cking break. Just like Rick Santorum,

"I don't believe in discrimination against gays, I just don't think they deserve the right to be married." I couldn't find the debate footage but it's pretty darn close. I'll cheer when both he and Bachman and Perry are all out of the race. Good rinse to them all. They make me sick.
