Classified information getting into the wrong hands could cause the death of innocent people, members of the military, and attacks on American soil. That's pretty major. I worked for a DOD contractor for 6 years. Employees were constantly lectured, cautioned, spied upon, phone conversations recorded, as part of preserving national security. We were subject to firing and reporting to higher authorities if we did anything wrong, which might be treasonable or subject us to prison. So if Hillary as Secretary of State was careless or worse with ANY classified information, she should be held accountable. The crime is serious.

I just read a discussion-debate-dialogue between two white men regarding illegal immigrant workers. It was refreshing to read the intellect, the facts, the opinions even. But most of all, the non-racist or derogatory remarks of the ethnicity of the worker. Everything was so even keeled. See America? We can be decent human beings even when we don't have the same views. It's all the name calling and uneducated spew that comes from people's mouth's when you try to have a conversation with someone that really bugs me. If you want me to respect your view, hell, if you want me to agree with you and change my views, do it with knowledge. But when you call Trump an ass, I won't argue with you about that (haha).

I think the cornrows thing is stemming from the original feud between Amandla Stenberg (Rue from Hunger Games) and Kylie Jenner. She specifically called her out because she and her family get rich off of appropriating black culture while staying silent and not saying a single thing about issues that affect black people. The issue isn't just the hair, it's that white people want to take things from black culture without giving a damn about how the people who invented the things you think are cute are getting shot by cops, growing up in fear, and treated as less than by the media and the culture at large. When American cops start murdering Irish people at a statistically disproportionate rate and getting away with, I will give a shit about a pub painted green or flying an Irish flag - most of which are owned by people of Irish descent if not actual Irish people.

Not one of my republican right-wing God Bless America and no where else friends posted about those four Marines being killed. Not one of them put up their condolences, not one put up any sort of prayers for them or any anger, nothing. I'm really surprised and I find it humorous. (Not funny haha). May they Rest in Peace.

You know, I left comments open so we could avoid this sort of thing happening here. I'm going to ignore the fact that you are more invested in personal insults than facts or logic because I don't like stooping to that when there's an actual discussion to be had. And you also know full well that the people involved in the cornrows nonsense are American - it's because of a Kylie Jenner post ffs, what's more American than the Kardashians? Unless you're trying to claim them for Ireland and if you are, go ahead and take them, please. Things have meaning specific to their countries and times. So you need to chill out with the fact that Americans are having a discussion about American culture with other Americans and speaking from an American POV. When you bring your country into a cultural moment in the States, yes, it's going to be read that way, and no amount foot-stomping or name-calling makes that wrong.

No, actually Irish and living in Ireland, with grandparents who lived through disgusting oppression by the English. Not "my mammy's pit bull was Irish but actually I'm just an ignorant American who likes to claim they are Irish because they have no culture of their own" Irish. And sorry Gabbathick, but the shit actual Irish people went through in Ireland in the last few centuries was oppression. Sorry if you can't see it through your stars and stripes banner. And I have no idea which 18 year old in particular we are referring to here. I'm not talking about anyone in particular, just random attacks I have seen on tonnes of young girls with dreads. Feel free to label me racist, but the fact you seem to be so ignorant of actual irish history really does show who the ignoramuses are here.

The issue isn't that the 18 year old white WOMAN was sporting any type of ethnic hairstyle. It's that she used the ignorant and racist tag line that white girls do it better. America's culture is the dominant (white) culture. I suggest you Google the definition of appropriation because you completely missed the point.

Natural hair is clearly a big thing for black women. I get that. What I don't get is people in their 20s and 30s ripping apart 18 year old white girls who decided to get dreads apart on Twitter or Instagram. Calling teenagers who just didn't think things through "racist" is not helping anyone. I'm also curious as to who is "black" enough to wear dreads without being called out by the internet hair police. Is a bi-racial girl with white skin but afro hair black enough? America's entire culture is appropriative. As an Irish person I am not appreciative of Americans running around calling themselves Irish and the tacky fiddle playing green-painted pub image they splash around as being part of "Irish culture". I guess it doesn't matter because even though Irish were also slaves who were treated like shit both by the English in Ireland and in the United States, we all all white and therefore appropriation of our culture doesn't "matter".

I really wish my FB friend would let me know who would be a better next president than Obama. Instead he just name calls Obama and the First Lady every derogatory name in the book. And loves to put Ronald Reagan on a pedestal. That's fine and dandy he thinks RR was the best prez ever, but that doesn't help America now. If you are going to bash politicians, at least speak about someone else above that person that would be better fit. All I see from the Right side is bashing bashing bashing Obama. I haven't seen anyone actually get on a soap box to support any Republican candidate.

I am native American. Thanks for that assumption that I'm just your average asshole Caucasian, though. :-)
