NOW - Trump: "You know what's happened today?! Gas prices are way down, and the stock market is way up today!"

I think you got a bad grade because you missed the point and failed to grasp the realities of history (this was APUSH after all). You say “Hidden Figures made up the bathroom stuff,” but that’s only half true. The movie dramatizes it, of course, but it’s rooted in how Jim Crow actually worked around Katherine Johnson. In 1960s Virginia, she expected to see “Colored” and “White” signs everywhere – because that’s what she dealt with in the rest of her life. Segregated facilities were the norm, not some rare exception. If you did your research thoroughly instead of scratching surfaces on the sources you consulted, you’d know that the reason she used the “white” restroom was because she was constantly fearfully searching for the “colored” one, and couldn’t find it (indeed they weren’t marked - but there were still unspoken norms about bathroom use there and who could use which one). So, when she got to NASA and didn’t see those labels on the bathrooms, that wasn’t “proof there was no racism.” It was confusing. She assumed there had to be a “Colored” restroom somewhere and went looking for it. The film turns that confusion and structural segregation into a big set‑piece (long walks, yelling in the rain, crowbar to the sign). The specifics are invented, but the underlying reality it’s pointing at isn’t. Johnson later said she just used the nearest bathroom and focused on the work. That doesn’t erase the Jim Crow world she came from; it shows how extraordinary it was that her team’s mission focus sometimes cut across those lines. Your paper got a C because it didn’t know what it was: it wanted to be a critique of dramatization / use of fiction in the context of historical events, but it failed to even attempt to root that critique in real American history. And you just straight up also missed key context and basic facts. A C is generous, candidly.

You’re such a disingenuous ass. The young man absolutely acknowledged that Massie had been supportive. And yes, he also announced his support for Massie’s opponent, but not gratuitously. He felt he had to speak up because the Massie campaign had used imagery suggesting that the young man was supporting Massie, which he is not. (He was correcting a lie. Weird that you left that part out.) And trying to marginalize Sandman as “Team Mitch” is weak. There is no “Team Mitch.” McConnell is not on the ballot and will never be again. The very young man, 23, apparently took a job in the office of his state’s senior senator; the idea that that’s shameful or aligns him in some dark or sinister way is ridiculous. Sorry that your guy is going to lose. But you don’t have to take it out on a decent kid who did nothing wrong.

Nick Fuentes says beef with Candace, Tucker and Megyn Kelly is over "No more brother wars. Tucker, Candace, Megyn Kelly, all is forgiven. We have to unite the goyim!"
