I'm proud of my brother, who is an Iraq veteran and tells the other Jingoists to gently caress off with their 'honor the flag' bullshit. They'll blather on about how disrespecting the anthem and flag is the same as disrespecting dead servicemembers, and he'll point out to them that he was in Honor Guard for several years and fully supports people who see fit to kneel during the anthem or burn flags.

I wished I took a picture, but my wife and I were shopping at Costco and they had some dolls (can't remember if they were Barbie or knockoffs) but the thing that really gave me pause is that while the box came with a white and black doll, the black doll was just the white doll's features with a darker shade of brown; everything else looked like the little white doll, to the extent it looked almost like blackface to me. It made me realize that I see very few genuinely Black dolls, in terms of hair texture and facial features; more often than not they are just 'palette swapped' versions of white dolls. But even I know that Black people have different hair textures and facial features than white people, and just making a really dark version of a caucasian doll is a rather poor analogue for a Black person.
