A Republican got offended I called the founding U.S. citizens "colonizers,"—rebuking me that “the original 13 colonies were beacons of freedom.”

I asked him to repeat that part...slowly. Apparently "colonies" is respectful—but calling those who built colonies "colonizers" is not.🤔

Also, I'm sure the enslaved, Native Americans, women, and anyone not a WASP wealthy land owner would likely disagree with that whole "beacon of freedom" part.

Sounds like you were talking to an idiot. He can call them beacons of freedom if he wants, but of course colonizers create colonies. Anyone who made it past the 6th grade knows that. America was colonized (by colonizers) as was most of the rest of the world.🤦‍♀️

@dswidow @QasimRashid Qasim did say it was a Republican who was all up in his feels about it. Considering what the Rs and their pet judges are doing to our country, only idiots still call themselves Republicans.
