It’s not even the middle of June, and I’ve been grossly insulted by stupid jokes about Juneteenth and pride month by two of my local friends on Facebook. I had no idea, but either one of them were capable of such actions, let alone belief system. Both of them said that he didn’t mean anything by it, but they were just jokes.
I am feeling insulted, frustrated, just disappointed, and betrayed. I publicly lit into them.
These people know who I am and everything I stand for. Why did they think they could be my friends? Do they think, seriously think, that I want to be friends with people who held beliefs like this? Did they not see the harm they do by telling jokes like this, and passing them off as innocent because they’re “just jokes”?
