I was at a sporting event this weekend and I noticed that every player on the team was sitting during the national anthem.
So I asked, "Why are you all sitting?".
The first guy said, "I'm sitting for Malala. I will sit until any girl who wants an education can get an education without fear of being shot. "
The next guy said, "I'm sitting for transgender people. I will sit until transgender people are treated equally. I'm sitting because transgender people have the highest suicide rate. I will sit until transgender people can safely use the bathroom of their gender - anywhere in the U.S."
The next guy said, "I will sit until we have had our first gay president."
The next guy said, "I will sit until we have had our first dwarf president."
Then I got to the last guy and asked him why he was sitting.
"I'm sitting because Ron at the office told me he liked my kinky hair. What a racist dick! Then, when I called him a racist, he had the nerve to tell me he voted for Obama and had lots of black friends. Then I told him that makes him even more of a racist. And then his feelings got hurt. Can you imagine that! A white person with feelings. I am sitting until we can end white fragility once and for all."
