#firebomb your local weapons manufacturer instead. THAT is how he would probably like to be mourned

Hey guess what making numerous posts about why every black person who may reasonably be uncomfortable with using Rest In Power for a white man in the armed forces is overreacting, is actually far more of "fed posting" than the other side is. YOU'RE the one being distracted by verbiage in order to correct them with the weird "☝️🤓 um ackshually Webster's dictionary of racism says the term originated...", when you can just agree or disagree & use whatever terms you're going to use, accepting the consequences either way-- I've seen great points made by many black comrades on both sides of it, and while I do think the context of Aaron's death is different than other "controversial" uses, I am also a big boy with many words to use and it's not that big a deal to use slightly different language to ensure that I'm not lazily co-opting & being disrespectful in that way, so I simply don't use it for fellow ranchskins for the low low cost of $0 and 0 involvement in discourse.
But sure, keep making (or reblogging) posts about how black people are the ones who "don't get it" and are obstructing international solidarity & movement building 🤨
