Then we'll need the NRA girl emoji and the USA girl emoji and the black lives matter girl emoji and the Hillary for prison girl emoji.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

It's very nice for you to crack jokes about a serious issue, George. See I wish I could take it so lightly! I wish I had the luxury of laughing about the issue, as you do! But I wasn't awarded the same fair treatment and consideration as you.

Unlike yourself, my people have been unfairly singled out, shamed, oppressed, and generally put upon by the biased, hurtful, prejudiced, destructive and oppressive group that is the Unicode Consortium. No other group represented in the emoji rolodex has had to deal with this kind of culture-racism:

While it is true that there are no pedestrian emojis, those have been perpetuated out of an abundance of caution, not hatred. And might I remind you that a pedestrian is how we describe an action, whereas the cycling is a community, lumped together and expected to be shooed away and treated with the same disdain and disregard as the litterers, the people who use mobiles in movie theatres, the smokers and the trespassers.

You find it funny, do you George? Well, I find it disgusting.



...Does that work, do I get my own being-put-upon soapbox now? Do people have to listen to me because I'm oppressed yet or do I have to wait for something in the news?
I cite irreconcilable differences.

I think he assumes that people constantly try to run him over because he's a cyclist, rather than the actual reason.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

I think we need an emoji for those deplorables out there who suffer from Inspector Dreyfuss Syndrome.

If you are suffering, stop.

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
