Racquetball court
If a tennis court is a giant ping pong table with a fence around it, a racquetball court is a giant folded up ping pong table.
The wall on a racquetball court is like the folded up part of a folded up ping pong table, whether you hit the ball with a racquet, a stick, your hands, or your feet.

Protest
You got governors that march protest with protestors as long as they're not protesting something the governor is doing.
The governor doesnt really care about the protestors he's marching with, he cares about getting reelected, which is why you dont see him marching or protesting when people are protesting his agenda and policies. Expecting a business to survive after not being open for over 6 months, or expecting everyone to help support the business during a time where the economy isnt stable and unemployment is high are not realistic expectations.

Silence
Silence is not compliance. Refusing to talk to someone isn't complying with them, since you dont have to talk to anyone.
A mouthy person would call silence compliance, since they want to get people to comply with their policy of saying a lot but meaning nothing, and spreading misinformation.

Black redneck
A black redneck is a lot like a white blues player. A black redneck wears a cowboy hat and boots, chews tobacco, goes to or participates in rodeos, drives a pickup truck, and writes or makes country music. A black redneck talks with a drawl.
The black redneck was at the Grand Ole Opry the same night the white blues player was at the House of Blues, and he fit right in. Part of hell had broken free and loose from the rest of hell, and everyone was too preoccupied with when all hell was going to break loose to notice, so they weren't concerned with it.

Colonize
Thinking that all groups of white people (Europeans) colonized everything is ignorance, and it spreads like wildfire. You don't hear about many Russian or Polish colonies outside Europe/Eurasia. You don't hear about many parts of the world colonized by Eastern European groups. The Greeks also don't do much colonizing in recent history, so it's mainly been about 7 or 8 groups of Europeans (the Vikings did land in North America a thousand years ago) in recent history that did most of the colonizing worldwide (English, Dutch, German, French, Belgian, Spanish, Portugeuse, and Italian). Those 7 or 8 groups have had a lot of the influence in Europe, so people in other parts of the world wouldn't have any more time to differentiate between an Italian and a Bosnian than someone in Europe would have time to differentiate between a Tanzanian and a South African, thus theres a lot of assumptions and ignorance based on what people look like.
Not even every family in every country that did colonize other parts of the world was involved in colonization. There were people/families in England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium that didn't have the time on the money to go out and explore the world, look for gold, or enslave other groups. They were going to work for the same kinds of people that were colonizing other parts of the world.
