Do you think the military/police worship in America is bizzare?


American Airlines, the largest airline in the US is facing backlash from Conservatives after they allowed it's cabin crew to wear Black Lives Matter pins on their UNIFORMS and have claimed they will now BOYCOTT the airline!!

It's even run fierce opposition among some STAFF who are saying they are DISGUSTED by the move claiming the BLM movement is divisive, and promotes violence and is anti-police and anti-America!!

The airline wrote "CLearly we live in at ime where it is so important to have dialogue about this important issue of racism in our society and try to find common ground. American is truly committed to having an inclusive culture that is welcoming to all and a reflection of our country and world. This is wy American is so committed to creating a more tolerant and iverse team. Through our partnership with American's office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we are continuing to work through an overall plan for addressing these issues in our workplace"

The pins are designed by the company's Black Professional Network that is introduced as a symbolic way of showing support.

But a veteran flight attendant was outraged writing "I take offense to this. Serious offense. My husband is a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) as was my deceased father and as far as i'm concerned. ALL LIVES MATTER. I am completely disgusted at teh fact that we can't show supprot for our GOD, our COUNTRY, our LEO's but when it comes to BLM organization, American Airlines says that's obviously differnt. And we cnan. How is that right? Well i don't feel included. Some of these people killed were BAD people anyway and we're crying for them why? Just because they're black? Bad Black people exist or do they not see that? They will have to face our lord and saviour for their crimes"

A second told Fox News they vowed to start wearing a badge to support Trump on duty.

A spokesperson told dailymail that they have not changed their mind and will continue with this policy and believe fundamentally in the movement and said "it doesn't mean other lives don't matter, rather that in our society Black Lives should matter and be valued the same as others".

Do you think the military/police worship in America is weird?

Conservatives don't give a shit about police. When washington (state) was going to arrest the republican politicans and bring them back to do their job all the people on "the don" reddit were totally in favor of murdering the police for doing their jobs then.

It's all fucking dog whistling.

Pretty much, and the airline deserves all the shit it's going to get for trying to wade into this social issue so it can virtue signal.

If you ever need a good indication of how out of touch BS0 is with the real world, he's basing all of conservatism on a fucking sub-Reddit dedicated to Trump.

I would bet you that most of the conservatives that are whining and calling for a boycott about this have never left their home state before.

Really? Because I was actually going to do a countdown right before keyblader showed up. We're totally out of sync! And referring to each other in the third-person.

They're upset if they wore some sort of dog whistle pin like "all lives matter" to express their disdain they would most likely get in trouble. Some people are really offended by the concept of black lives mattering.

Trump has called McCain a loser before, so he doesn't worship the military. He has said every prisoner of war is a loser and shouldn't be given the war hero status.

Protip: If you're going to turn somebody's word choices around on them in an effort to make a witty retort, stick to more concise phrases than that, as well as making sure your reworded version actually works. Otherwise, what you're doing just comes off as being roughly equivalent to reciting the entire spiel that follows "I'm rubber and you're glue," which was cringey and embarrassing when I was 6 years old, let alone 25 years later.

Imagine being enraged about "cancel culture" and then decide to boycott an airline because of some dumb pin.
