    The white woman sitting at the counter getting water poured on her head is Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, a Freedom Rider and student activist leader, and the first white woman introduced into the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.

    She participated in over 50 sit-ins and demonstrations by the time she was 23 years old. For her actions she was disowned by her family, attacked, shot at, cursed at, put on death row and hunted down by the Klan for execution. Screenshot_20210601-080117.png

    Do you know what forum you’re posting in jackass?

    Stop posting D&D/Hangout stuff in the GARM.

    It's how posters who can't handle uncomfortable truths like @J.R. or @tinman or @Os Trigonum cope. By spamming the D&D with "comedy".

    Ahh... I’ve been wondering what the purpose was of that. Not that it altered my user experience at all. Just made me wonder for a moment if Tinman forgot his meds that morning or something.

    Imagine thinking you are trolling someone on a forum called “clutchfans” by posting out of place reminders of how awesome Hakeem Olajuwon was.

    Bizarre thread is bizarre.

    Anyways, it is good to remember that people are capable of animal behavior that seems almost impossible to believe.

    We already have Jazz and Knicks fans to remind us of this in the basketball forum though.
