Yeah, well upthread someone posted this, so I’m guessing there’s a significant portion that are simply bigots:

BTW, if that was caught on film—and I’m pretty sure it would have been—it’ll be showing up in Da’esh recruiting materials soon. Now that a plurality of American voters have in no uncertain terms told young American Muslims they’re not wanted here and aren’t a Real Americans™, Da’esh will no doubt find plenty of new volunteers.

I know it’s hard to understand the feeling of being a minority target if you’ve never been one yourself, whether it’s due to race, religion (or lack of), sexual preference, etc. but I can assure you it’s highly unpleasant. I guess I’m just saying don’t be surprised if those of us who are minorities get a bit testy at times.

Anyway, lizards, I’m in a piss poor mood right now so I’m gonna try (again) to get some sleep. Try to resist feeding the trolls when they inevitably come by to provoke & gloat—it gives them the satisfaction they want.
